It seems as though gpg reserves stdout for formatted data; every time I
redirect a successful gpg call I get the en/decrypted material coming out.

Seems like messages you'd want to save come out stderr, in which case
you want to change your script to

| gpg -e -v -r joe.blow at company.com -o foo.pgp %1 2> foo.log

Note the 2 before the >

I just tried it and it works.
