Figured it out!  It's because that's not actually P2SH, it's a plain multi-sig address.  P2SH is one way to execute multisig scripts, but it's not used in the transaction you linked.  I would totally believe that I broke multisig display because I didn't test that.  Whoops!

I'll see if I can get it back to the way it was before.

P.S. - Just posted an Ubuntu 64-bit installer for testing...

Sorry about that. I actually realized right after that post that I'd been using P2SH interchangeably with multisig in a multitude of places recently. I suppose I'll live with the embarrassment.

But while we're on the subject of multisig, do you mind commenting on the feasibility of a wallet recognizing strange outputs as spendable? That's a pretty broad question, but I didn't want to narrow it down so far as to only be applicable to the multisig example I provided. The reason I ask is largely due to mastercoin. Mastercoin uses 1-of-n multisig outputs as a method of storing data in the blockchain without creating unspendable outputs. The catch is that there isn't a wallet that will recognize or spend those outputs. As far as I'm concerned, they are unspendable by the average user. Anyway, do you find reason or incentive to recognize and support fringe case outputs such as the one in the example? If so, would you consider pursuing a wallet model that aims to recognize and spend all outputs that can be spent? Please note, this isn't a request - I'm just curious what a developer's thoughts are.

Thank you for the awesome work on Armory! I'm excited to use Armory over the coming months.
