Further investigating I found that:

$ unset GPG_AGENT_INFO

helps solving this issue.

the env var in a fresh gnome terminal is set to:
$ env | grep GPG_AGENT_INFO
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/run/user/phaidros/keyring-xyz123/gpg:0:1

I am not very familiar with the usage of gpg agents (seahorse in the case of 
ubuntu?), so someone more knowledgeable might have an idea what could be wrong 
with that env setting, or tell me how to find out if 
seahorse/gpg-agent/whatever runs as expected.
any hints?
