If the problem of leftover agent is limited to a narrow versions of
GPG2, alternatively we could unconditionally attempt to use gpgconf
and ignore the failure ;-), but as long as we know all problematic
ones identify themselves as "gpg (GnuPG) 2.1*", then your patch
(with s/;&/;;/ of course ;-)) sounds very sensible.

Perhaps it is about time we lost RFC/ mark from here.
