Still repro.

You have to right-click the message and then you get the command in the context menu.

Thunderbird 52.1.1 (32-bit)
Windows 7 64-bit

Still present in Thunderbird 91.7.0

This seems to be due to BuildBodyMessageAndSignature of nsMsgCompose.cpp which in this case does not add signature.

We could mention another of the cases, where it doesn't add the signature, which could be useful to modify the behavior (Template). If we ever share a template with someone, we won't add the signature in the template. If he does "New message from a template", he will not have the signature added to the mail.

Afterwards, we should test the presence of signature to be sure not to have 2 signatures at the same time.
