This looks like it may have the same root cause as #573440.  Namely, the way
gnupg.vim is written it doesn't handle an error from gnupg.  I contacted
Markus about that a while ago but haven't heard back from him yet.

I think the proper solution would be to change gnupg.vim to use a BufWriteCmd
autocmd instead of a pair of BufWritePre/BufWritePost autocmds, but I haven't
had a chance to test out such an implementation.
