Indeed, and I was unsure whether to report the bug here or in gnome
keyring (feel free to reassign it).

No matter who's bug it is, it is a usability (or unusability) issue of
scute. That can be solved:
1. By scute detecting an incompatible gpg-agent and using the real one
2. By scute replicating the parts of gpg-agent that it requires
3. By gnome's gpg agent being enhanced to support the functionality scute needs.

That's a nice hack to make things work temporarily, but in the end it
is not a solution to the issue.
