If you're pushing garbage (and specifically in this case non-enveloped data)
then the results you give are exactly what should be expected.

Without being able to see the code you're using, if you're getting exactly the
same results as you get from pushing garbage into the envelope then the
obvious conclusion would be that what's going into the envelope isn't valid
signed data.
