I believe this is a seperate bug.

This conclusion is based on the assumption that gpg-agent always caches
the passphrase. It does not! Just configure gpg-agent to not cache
(--default-cache-ttl 0 ). As you cannot avoid that code sees your passphrase,
you are not losing security by gpg-agent. Instead the usae of gpg-agent will
increase security (a little).
