pinentry is the standalone package to asks for the passphrase for gpg. 
Try up'ing the verbosity on gpg? E.g. run `gpg -vv' on your CLI and
post full output (modulo anything sensitive, of course)?

(Also, a stupid question: at any point did you rebuild gpg? Did you
restart the gpg-agent afterwards?)
