Following up on my pinentry issue=E2=80=94

In the end I used a work-around.  I decrypted the sensitive file on an
off-line OpenBSD machine onto a mounted USB flash drive, then mounted
the drive to the Guix machine, did what I needed to do with the file,
shredded any copy of the file and finally removed the USB drive and
destroyed it with a hammer.
