Not the way I use them (but I don't use gpg-agent...)

That's expected. pinentry is pretty much as a shell, it'll do what you 
tell it when you type stuff after the prompt.
Try something more like

[bero at desktop-lax ~]$ pinentry
OK Pleased to meet you
SETDESC Enter your root password (it will be mailed to the NSA for legal 
reasons)
OK
SETTITLE Government mandated spyware
OK
SETOK Yes
OK
SETCANCEL Revolt!
OK
GETPIN
D Fake password for the NSA
OK

Maybe it's simply not running? Have you tried "systemctl --user 
start"ing it as opposed to "systemctl --user restart"ing it?
