Not heard about that for TB!

I could imagine a program doing that, baut only if the passphrase is
cached. Otherwise a window pops up to ask you for your passphrase and this
would halt the sending process.
Mmmh, well one could imagine a program (virus) storing your passphrase and
entering it when necessary, but no, I don't think someone will spend this
time to write that virus.....

Exactly what I told my friends and I'm quite sure it is still ok!
BTW, because you are using TB to create and send messages you should
disable PGP's word-wrapping (it is not necessary in TB):
Tools.PGP.PGP_Preferences, Tab-folder Email, last checkbox "word-wrap..."
should be unchecked. You will have a proper Word-wrapping then!
