In fact, the diagnosis by Byung-Hee and Adam are spot on!
Gnus had not problem when it was started from a buffer containing a file
in the same directory as authinfo.gpg, and not otherwise.
Having used full paths for authinfo.gpg, things work now.

All this came from the fact that my init file was tangled from an org
file; and the authinfo was in the same directory as the latter.
