The problem here is that Satoshi has a GPG key, and this message is not signed with it.

Regarding his PGP, it's interesting to see who (at least which key) signed his public key:

I assume none of the key verified his identity before signing it ;-)

Which would be bigger news? That someone who isn't Satoshi managed to do this, or that Satoshi has reappeared after years of silence?

Anyone can embed messages in a Bitcoin transaction. It looks like this one was sent using a transaction script.

That Satoshi reappeared, by an order of magnitude. It would be news either way, but people have been searching for him/her/whatever "Satoshi" is for years now.
