Many thanks for the suggestion, but I’m afraid that this still does not work for me.

It seems the gnupg ignores all s2k and cipher preference flags when encrypting private keys. If this is indeed the intended behaviour (although I have no idea why it should be), perhaps it would a good idea to add a warning to the man pages?
