Creating a new file that is to be encrypted in emacs with easypg fails
with the error: Opening output file: stringp, nil

Steps to reproduce:

emacs -Q

(require 'epa-file)
(epa-file-enable)

C-x C-f somefile.gpg <enter>

type some text and try and save the file with C-x C-s

observe error: Opening output file: stringp, nil
and file is not saved.

I expect it should ask me which gpg key I want to encrypt the file for
rather than throwing an error.

I tested this with emacs -Q under cygwin and got the error
emacs compiled today from git. version "24.3.50.1"
checkout: fa431ad4a3f3040f6cc4535627c4d6f48ede9a94


I also tested on linux emacs v. 24.3.50.1
where it seems to work as expected.

backtrace seems to include some control characters, i presume because
the el files are compiled to elc
unfortunately I was unable to determine which files I should change to
.el files so it would have a proper backtrace

included here in case that's of use?
