bug#2629: 23.0.91; emacs-snapshot20090308: epa can not save .gpg buffer

[gegendosenfleisch@googlemail.com]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4896 bytes --]

I opened a buffer, named testing.gpg. I entered some text and tried 
to save it to disk. I got the message:
   Saving file /home/username/testing.gpg...
   byte-code: Opening output file: integer-or-marker-p, nil
The buffer was not saved.

I tried several setups: 
(require 'epa-setup) (require 'epa-file) (epa-file-enable)
(require 'epa) (epa-file-enable)
and "emacs -Q".

Nothing worked.

Output "M-x toggle-debug-on-error":

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening output file" integer-or-marker-p nil)
  signal(file-error ("Opening output file" integer-or-marker-p nil))
