I didn't look, but since all gpg access goes through the gpgme
library appearently it could well be that a buffer passed in for
error messages is just too short.

Close. It was asking the environment for something else
(gpg agent, no idea what this is good for), and did
misinterpret the harmless "not present" return for something
serious, and gave up reading keys too early.
