Reading /usr/bin/debsign it looks like it invokes gpg in a more
complicated way than you're trying thus far:

    $signcommand --local-user "$signas" --clearsign \
                --no-show-policy-url \
                --armor --textmode --output "$ASCII_SIGNED_FILE" \
                "$UNSIGNED_FILE" || \

it's also wrapped in some stty stuff that i don't understand, but
digging through the devscripts git history i see that it's probably from
#321684 in 2005 ("fix noecho behaviour for interrupted gpg call") and
#345636 in 2006 ("don't abort or complain if stty fails, as might happen
if run w/o a controlling terminal.")

Have you tried emulating the more complex invocation of gpg to see
whether it affects pinentry differently under sway?
