I can't get gpg-preset-passphrase to work with GnuPG 2.1.7. The command appears to work successfully but the passphase is not found by GET_PASSPHRASE. I've included details of my simple test below plus the output from running it on Centos 7.2 (where it works using 2.0.22) and Fedora 23 (where it fails using 2.1.7).
Searching through the issue tracker I found https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2015. The title of this issue is "GET_PASSPHRASE with --no-ask always return error in gnupg 2.1.5" but, based on the discussion in the issue, I think the title is now wrong and should really be "gpg-preset-passphrase does not work". Have I understood that correctly? If so I assume I will see the same issue with the latest release? Any advice much appreciated.
