strace reveals the following. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

In Firefox
    read(5, "INQUIRE PINENTRY_LAUNCHED 22712\n", 1002) = 32
    write(5, "END", 3)                = 3
    write(5, "\n", 1)                 = 1
    read(5, "ERR 83886179 Operation cancelled <Pinentry>\n", 1002) = 44

In the terminal
    read(5, "INQUIRE PINENTRY_LAUNCHED 22990\n", 1002) = 32
    write(5, "END", 3)                = 3
    write(5, "\n", 1)                 = 1
    read(5, "D (5:value511...) = 543
