Check ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf for pinentry-program, for me it looks like
this:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt

This pinentry doesn't support the Emacs loopback mode, the GTK2 prompt
does support the INSIDE_EMACS hack to redirect the entry to Emacs as
mentioned in the pinentry manual.

The only other thing is that `allow-loopback-pinentry` should be set
into that file too but I think you have already set that.


Br,
