Because the reply information never changes.  i.e. a reply to a  
message doesn't change the reply text when resuming a draft.

Then those clients are broken IMHO.  What happens if you switch  
identities in those clients after resuming a message?  Do you get 2+  
signatures?

Signatures are necessarily added at send time, as opposed to  
reply/forward information which is added at the initial compose time.   
A user should feel free to change their identity at any point prior to  
sending.
