Pinentry-mode loopback doesn't tell the user which PIN it's asking for

I have a GUI-less system that I use gpg on, I use it in GNU screen, I
tried to set it to use pinentry-tty but that conflicts with screen and
it breaks input (IIRC it doubles all characters or is otherwise
unusable, it's been a while since I tested it).
It works fine with pinentry-mode=loopback, but it doesn't say which PIN
it's asking for, so I have to work from memory, knowing which PIN it's
asking for which particular command.
Is it possible to make gpg say which PIN it's asking for, the same way
that pinentry does?
