Did you manage to reproduce the failure?

I've just built gnupg using the latest of all of these from git:

    gnupg
    libassuan
    libgpg-error
    libgcrypt
    libksba

(with the caveat that I had to work around a build failure due to
 libgcrypt's recent removal of gcry_md_start_debug, as I've just
 posted to gnupg-devel)

Even with that, I still end up with the pesky undismissable
"GPA error" dialog.

For the record, gpg2 now reports this:

    $ gpg2 --version
    gpg (GnuPG) 2.1.0-git0dcf517
    libgcrypt 1.6.0-gitba71277
