What about this?

  $ gpg2 --no-tty --status-fd=1 --command-fd=0 -r B15813FE --encrypt -o /dev/null /dev/null 
  gpg: 2A9BEA2D: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user
  [GNUPG:] USERID_HINT 4447461B2A9BEA2D Daiki Ueno <ueno at unixuser.org>
  [GNUPG:] GET_BOOL untrusted_key.override

This has the advantage of reusing the USERID_HINT as used with the
passphrase prompt.

It will display the subkey but that should not be a problem.
