2 is standard error (at least, I suppose Windows does that too), so it will be
mixed with any other output to stderr. On Linux, I see the "gpg: encrypted
with..." message on stderr together with the status-fd output.

Depending on the buffering chosen for standard error, it might be racey: if some
other message mingles with [GNUPG:] PLAINTEXT... it might become unreadable for
your script.

Somebody with good Windows scripting knowledge might be able to help you keep it
separate.
