I have reported the issue to AG Projects via their support email, I hope they're able to fix it eventually.
Meanwhile I would be very interested in using the workaround you describe - downgrading libgcrypt11.
When I try this, it wants me to remove a lot of essential packages:
gdi2k@x200-1204:~$ sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11=1.5.0-3

The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
libgcrypt11
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 28 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 280 kB of archives.
After this operation, 140 MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
Were you able to downgrade the package without breaking / removing a lot of other packages?
Thanks for finding the cause of this.
