The mailing list has been rejecting mails last week and then I forgot about 
the issue, sorry for the delay.

I've tested this with gpg and the pinentries running in the same
x11-session with the same locale and encoding (de_DE.ISO8859-15, I believe
that charset is called @euro in glibc-land). It should be easily reproducable.
