Uhm... see below.

Yes, the migration of a fresh version worked just as you have expected.

I have a backup, indeed...
$ gpg2 --homedir ~/.caff/gnupghome.alt --list-key

But I saw no trustdb check when caff is working...
This makes me wonder, I see --no-auto-check-trustdb in your gpg options...
maybe this is the
key? It needs to update trustdb prior to migration but it's forbidden.
So I hacked caff and removed the option but this did not change anything.
Maybe it's not allowed together with --batch? I don't know.
Anyhow, after little RTFM, I think that a possible workaround for this
problem in caff should be calling this always when caff starts:
gpg2 --batch --check-trustdb --homedir ...
It shouldn't do anything if no update is needed. I checked that:
restored broken dir, reproduced mentioned problem, called the command,
watched the update finished, called caff again, and it worked just fine.

Yeah, probably.
