I think this representation is...

... not supported by libgcrypt.

For NIST P-256, only standard encoding (prefixed by 0x04, followed by X
in MPI, then, Y in MPI [0]) is supported.  If not, it results an error
in _gcry_ecc_os2ec by GPG_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED (Not implemented).

Just put the prefix "04" to your representation, if it's composed by X
and Y in big endian.
