Wha I observed was that decrypting (or was it encrypting?) seemed to go
on for a very long time -- until I killed that command with C-g.
When I ran gpg from the shell, not under Emacs, I saw the mssafe
about rechecking the trust db. Once that had been done to completion,
the problem went away.

I don't know. But since the message that gpg emits arrives in Emacs
via the process filter of that subprocess, I think the code that
handles the subprocess output received by the filter must see that
message. I suspect it only ignores that message.
