It is not inherently a bug to run "gpg --no-tty" with no X display.
There are many situations where gpg will have neither a tty nor an X11
display, and it should still be able to work.
if the agent itself needs other means to unlock any keys, that's a
separate question, but the title of this bug seems to make an assumption
that i don't think is warranted. can you explain it another way?
