I think it does send verbose output to stderr, at least for --decrypt. compare:

the only bit i see is this last "- gpg control packet", which i think
might be a bug (i just reported it to gpg-devel).

Looks like i can replicate this with "gpg --verbose --verbose
--check-trustdb" -- i've mailed gnupg-devel about it.
