Thanks, but this doesn't look right to me.  The problem is likely in
the fact that epg--start sets the encoding/decoding for the epg
process to raw-text in a way that is too broad: it affects not only
how we encode and decode text sent to and received from GnuPG, but
also how its command-line arguments are encoded.  And that's not what
we want.

So I think the right fix is in epg--start: instead of setting :coding
as part of the make-process call, it should call
set-process-coding-system _after_ the make-process call, so that
raw-text will affect only the text we send and receive from gpg.

Can you try such a change and see if it fixes the problem?
