I can't remember having read anything about serious flaws in this 
version of gpg-agent.

I can't tell since I haven't tried gnupg 1.9. But other people tried, 
failed and asked me for help on IRC or via personal mail. Maybe it 
wasn't gnupg 1.9 which caused the problems but some other part of 
Aegypten 2. All I know is that they didn't manage to get 
signing/encryption to work in KMail. After they downgraded it worked 
again.
