I suspect you are using the IDEA plugin from 1.1.90 with 1.1.92.  That
won't work.  Did you see an error message ("invalid module `......')
when you ran gpg?

I'll add a NEWS note to remind people to use the new plugin.  The new
plugin is available in the usual place
(http://www.gnupg.org/why-not-idea.html).

A nice thing about the new plugin is that you can drop the plugin
idea.c file into the cipher/ directory when building GnuPG and it will
automatically build IDEA directly into the binary.
