Maybe you could retry after compiling pinentry with USE="-caps" (I
assume it's enabled). There is a bug in upstream pinentry &
capabilities. Other than that pinentry also has problems with proper
fallback mechanisms when DISPLAY is set but no X (gtk or qt) pinentry is
installed. If it's neither of those problems then I don't know...
