Thanks for the suggestion. 'dpkg-reconfigure pinentry-gnome3' didn't do anything, so I installed looked through the documentation and couldn't find any relevant configuration options.
Removing the package led to enigmail failing to even prompt me for a passphrase, and hence decryption obviously failed. Installing pinentry-gtk2 restored the same problems I had with pinentry- gnome3. So I then tried pinentry-tty. This fixed the problem for gpg at the command-line (the modal problem at least, there still isn't a helpful title to be able to auto-type), but enigmail still didn't prompt me (perhaps it's loathe to launch a terminal window), so decryption fails. But this does all seem to strengthen the suggestion that the problem isn't with gnupg2, but rather with either the pinentry suite or enigmail. Can you confirm and, if possible, suggest the best alternative venue to file this bug?
