My temporary directory does have the proper permissions.

I got a more useful traceback with that setting:

The variable named res isn't being set, and it's in a setq involving
passphrases.  I'll take a closer look.

Those symbols are only found in my .gnus, not in my .xemacs/init.el:

(require 'bbdb-pgp)
 bbdb/pgp-default-action 'sign

			     (gpg-2comp . "pgpgpg"))
 gpg-passphrase-timeout 5
 gpg-temp-directory "~/.gnupg/tmp"
 mml2015-use 'gpg

The bare key-value pairs are part of large setq statements.  My
bbdb-pgp stuff takes care of signing, and it appears to work -- feel
free to check the signature on any of my recent posts to make sure.
