This happened because the exit status of /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent
was non-zero, and the script was executed from /etc/X11/Xsession, which
runs with set -e, thus aborting the X11 startup process.
Some months ago, developer Eduard Bloch submitted a wishlist bug against
x11-common, the package responsible for /etc/X11/Xsession*, asking that
external scripts under set +e, so that failures to start like the one
you experienced.
The bug was fixed in version 7.0.19 of x11-common (see #331553), so I'm
merging your report with Eduard's, and marking it as closed, since the
X11 startup process does not fail anymore even if an incorrect
gpg-agent.conf is present.
Cheers,
