OK. I've finally found the problem. My ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf had the
"use-agent" option commented out. Enabling it and installing
pinentry-gtk2 made the signing work again.

So I think evolution should at least recomment pinentry-gtk2 and mention
the need for the use-agent option in the README file (or force the
use-agent option).

Thanks for the help in spoting the problem.
