If you don't want that feature the --keep-tty and --keep-display options
for gpg-agent may be useful:

   Ignore requests to change the current tty or X window system's
   DISPLAY variable respectively.  This is useful to lock the pinentry
   to pop up at the tty or display you started the agent.

That feature was once implemented for a user who liked to keep the
pinentry popping up in fixed screen(1) session.
