I doubt that in this case since it works as a shell for GnuPG. One can
always analyse the resulting message, and if some additional encryption
key turns up or extra message data is added after the message that would
be easily detectable. And more subtle backdoors, like tampering with the
RNG are nu issue since GnuPG itself deals with that.
