I assume you mean the variable GPG_AGENT_INFO.

Enigmail does not set that variable, Enigmail would only pass the
variable on to gpg if the variable is set _before_ Thunderbird was
started.

With GnuPG 2.0.16 and newer, Enigmail does not start gpg-agent at all.
gpg-agent is started automatically by gpg, if needed.

The question is therefore, is gpg-agent started by gpg every time a
password is needed, or is gpg-agent running as daemon and for some
reason gpg cannot connect to it?
