well, this seems to be a result of the OSX Finder passing the PSN
(process serial number); in the case above, e.g.,

      "-psn_0_31981569"

cref: http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/arch_sys.html

to work around THAT, instead of building an OSX bundle with the
'actual' pinentry-qt cp'd into it, i.e.,

   cp -f /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt  pinentry-qt.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-qt

create, intstead,

   pinentry-osx.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-osx

where "pinentry-osx" is a launcher script, e.g.,

 ------------------
 #!/bin/sh
 /bin/sh -c '/usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt \
 --no-global-grab \
 --lc-ctype=UTF-8'
 ------------------

this launcher simply ignores the Finder-passed PSN, and directly
launches the 'orig' autofoo-built pinentry-qt.

now, on dubl-click of the pinentry-osx.app, no more 'odd' error (as
above). but, still 'nothin' happens -- i.e., there's no dialog
launched. just in Console.log, now,

  >         OK Your orders please

and, nothing more.

progress?  hmm ...
