This should work:

  $ cat enc-2-keys-2.gpg \
     | gpg --no-options --no-default-keyring --keyring /dev/null \
           --batch --status-fd 1 2>/dev/null \
     | awk  '$1=="[GNUPG:]" && $2=="ENC_TO" {print $3}'

Unfortunately there is no --skip-decrypt option and thus you need to
use the above trick.  Works with all gpg versions.
