KMail identifies the identity to use for a reply by looking for an 
identity matching one of the recipients of the original message. If I 
understand correctly then both identities have the same email address so 
both match. Apparently, KMail picks the second identity instead of the 
first one. I'm not sure in which order KMail checks for a matching 
identity. You could try whether switching old and new identity (by 
removing signing/encryption from the old one and adding it to the new 
one) helps.
