wow... This is really unexpected given that gpg is run with the --batch
argument. Why would gpg prompt for any user interaction if I even pass the
--batch flag?? But at this point I should not be surprised anymore about gpg
weirdness...

Thanks for testing this and providing the patch. It's in my git branch.

cheers, josch
