Also for me it was interesting to have that work so I checked around for
a solution. Unfortunately there is no proper way [0] to have gpg-agent
use one pinentry or another based on env variables and that is a known
issue [1].
When gpg-agent is started, it can only use *one* version of pinentry.
You can change that but then you have to reload gpg-agent, which is a
bit inconvenient.
I could not think of any workaround...
