This comes from util/secmem.c. Line 141 sets err (err = EPERM),
and ll. 171 checks for err and errno. Since errno remains 0,
gpg throws an error.
This patch did it for me:

diff -Nru gnupg-1.2.4.orig/util/secmem.c gnupg-1.2.4/util/secmem.c

          )
            log_error("can't lock memory: %s\n", strerror(err));
        show_warning = 1;
