Try it - make a key that has only 3DES in its preferences, and then try encrypting to it with --disable-cipher-algo 3DES set. You'll end up with 3DES anyway. The way the code is structured, if the cipher selection algorithm fails (and it will in this case - the key requires 3DES, but you've disabled 3DES) so GPG has to resolve the crisis somehow - and it resolves it by using 3DES as it "knows" that OpenPGP requires it to be present.
