Hmmm. I can only tell that I am happily using it for a very long time
and it always displays the description of the key.

The pinentry does not cache the passpharse; this is the job of the
gpg-agent. You may want to check your ~/.gpg-agent.conf for these
options:
`--default-cache-ttl N'
Set the time a cache entry is valid to N seconds. The default are
600 seconds.
`--pinentry-program FILENAME'
Use program FILENAME as the PIN entry. The default is installation
dependend and can be shown with the `--version' command.
Shalom-Salam,
