I know that the documentation says that RSA encrypt and decrypt functions are not working, but well,

Does the manual say that? Where? I thought these functions just weren't documented at all yet.

Well, it says it's not supported by the library. In Reference -> Public key algorithms, the fifth paragraph says:

|Two important uses for one-way functions with trapdoors are |public-key encryption, and digital signatures. Of these, I won't say |more about public-key encryption, as that isn't yet supported by |Nettle. So the rest of this chapter is about digital signatures.

Maybe you forgot to remove this?
