Same problem here.
This happens both on the version downloaded from the repositories, and compiling from source code as well.

It doesn't happen if I downgrade libgpgme11 to version 1.4.2-0.1ubuntu3 (from saucy).

Seems to be fixed in libgpgme11 (1.4.3-0.1ubuntu5). I don't get the error message anymore.

I'm pretty sure the bug does not have something to do with gpager.
