Is there any chance you could try with GnuPG 2.1 instead of GnuPG 2.0?

If I remember correctly, even with the latest Scute (at the tip of the 
current master branch in Git), with GnuPG 2.0 you cannot use TLS 1.2, 
because the agent from GnuPG 2.0 does not expect the kind of hash that 
it receives from Scute.

At the time, I was able to make TLS 1.2 work with GnuPG 2.0.26 by 
backporting commit 1c09def22d97de3738a2bec4970504bfc155680b [1]. You 
could try that, but I think switching to GnuPG 2.1 would be a better 
solution if possible.
