I have that reader model, too. The normal card usage works. (Not without 
problems but I don't know whether they are software or hardware related.)

When I use the keys on the card then gpg always asks me to use the reader 
keypad. Do you have a special configuration so that it does this for changing 
the PIN, too?


This is in the log file:
gpg-agent[3472.9] DBG: -> PASSWD  1
gpg-agent[3472.9] DBG: <- INQUIRE NEEDPIN ||Bitte die PIN eingeben
2010-06-07 12:38:51 gpg-agent[3472] starting a new PIN Entry
2010-06-07 12:38:51 gpg-agent[3472] DBG: connection to PIN entry established

Usually (signing) it has this message:
gpg-agent[3284.9] DBG: <- INQUIRE POPUPKEYPADPROMPT
 ||Bitte die PIN eingeben%0A[Sigs erzeugt: 6]

(meaning: "please enter PIN [sigs created: 6]")
