When encrypting with --symmetric, I would expect to get asked for the
password when decrypting but I am never prompted... why?
me$ gpg --symmetric --cipher-algo AES256 -v foo.txt
gpg: using cipher AES256
gpg: writing to `foo.txt.gpg'
me$ gpg foo.txt.gpg
gpg: AES256 encrypted data
gpg: encrypted

Run
gpgconf --reload gpg-agent
before decryption to clear the passphrase cache.
