Well, I just rebooted the box for an other problem (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8377 for details) and did a
fresh try:

strace gpg --gen-key 2> ~/gpg.txt

Oddly enough the action completes successfully. This is with both
audio-entropyd and rngd running and netdev-random patch in the kernel.
The very same thing triggered the bug without problem before trying with
the mentioned deamons stopped.
Now even doing rm -rf .gnupg/ does not help in reproducing.

So yes, all is OK, and no, I don't know why.
