Okay, I can work around it in a satisfactory fashion. My personal
problem is solved.

Now, assuming that --batch is supposed to make gpg run in an
unattended fashion, as documentation indicates, and behavior differs
in this case between encrypt and decrypt, is there any reason this
isn't a bug (albeit very minor) that should be reported? If so, should
I start with the gnupg-devel mailing list, or create an account with
the bug tracking system and create there?

Thank you all for your help.
