Or two flavours of the signing function, one with the assert, and one with the assert deleted?
Your 3) seems fine too IMHO, almost any non-trivial C function should be able to return an error code. From the principle of least surprise, I think one ought to return an error code if public and private key doesn't match, if checking that is reliable and cheap.
