depends on how gpg-agent is configured. for example, do you have
ignore-cache-for-signing in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf ?
also, the subkey that is used for encryption should be a different key
than the one used for signing. It's not clear that gpg-agent should try
to reuse its known passwords for a key that it does not associate with
those passwords. Anyway, if you think it should, that's probably a
different feature enhancement request to pursue, and we shouldn't
distract #787781 with it.
