I'm seeing similar behaviour, I have to enter my password 4
times. I have my credentials in .authinfo.gpg (no symlink)

Upon starting emacs (emacs23 -f gnus-no-server), I get 2 prompts for
password. I assume that is because I have different 2 IMAP accounts.

I have open IMAP connections at this stage, but if I now type '3 g' to
get email at level 3, I have to enter my password 2 times again. This
does not happen if I type '1 g' or '2 g'. Go figure.

I run gpg-agent, and I also have set
epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption.
