Your gpg-agent is not installed properly.  man gpg-agent to see how it
is to be started.  If there is no gpg-agent it will only be started as
needed and then can't act as a passphrase cache.   Ubuntu should have
handled this for you.

We will change gpg-agent in the next version to automagically start
itself as a daemon on the first access - this allow to use gpg-agent
without any additional system setup.

gpg2 ignores this option because gpg-agent is a required part of the
GnuPG-2 system.
