Yes. As almost all Unix tools, gpg defaults to take input from stdin and writes output to stdout. Because you did not use --armor the output is binary and messes up your tty. The reason why already get some output despite that you have nothing typed in yet (stdin is per default the current tty) is due to buffering: gpg already outputs the OpenPGP header data (encrypted session key) and now waits for the actual data to show up at stdin.
