There is more than one way to fix that.
Since no one seems to have an idea of how to handle the
console/pinentry case, let's just disable password caching on text
terminals, and disabling use of gpg-agent on text terminals, by
default. We can suggest a workaround in the PGG manual, and tell
people to enter a passphrase into pinentry before starting Emacs, if
they want to use PGG with gpg-agent on a text terminal.
