AFAICS this is a different problem.

My original report was with gnupg-2.4.3. I've tried again after
downgrading to gnupg-2.2.41, but the behaviour is basically the same.
The only difference is an additional line in the error message:

   Error while signing with "/usr/bin/gpgsm":

   gpgsm: DBG: adding certificates at level -2
   gpgsm: ignoring gpg-agent inquiry 'PASSPHRASE'
   gpgsm: error creating signature: No passphrase given <GPG Agent>

I see no change either when I add --passphrase-fd 0 to the args in
epg--start. That is, gpgsm still hangs as reported above.
