Can you try to duplicate the problem and post the steps you followed?
GnuPG works fine with a s2k digest of sha256.  The error message you
got also doesn't follow from the scenario you describe - if a s2k
digest was used that GnuPG can't handle, the error message is
"md_enable: algorithm %d not available".

I'm wondering if you didn't really comment out the s2k-digest-algo
line, which would give you the exact problem you described.
