Thanks for the explanations. So, the problem seems to be related
to d-bus (which itself may be related to systemd). When I ssh
to my machine with sysvinit (for which there are no problems),
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is unset, while when I ssh to my
machine with systemd, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set to
"unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" (i.e. the same as in the physical
X session, so I'm wondering whether this is correct!).

When I ssh to my machine where DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set,
if I run "gpg -d file.gpg", it doesn't work. If I unset this
environment variable and try again, it still doesn't work, but
that's probably because the gpg-agent that is running (due to
the previous test) has DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS set in its
environment. So, if I try again after killing the running
gpg-agent, it works, i.e. I can type my passphrase from the
curses UI.
