Looks like a pinentry issue.
I guess you are using some non-alphanumerical characters in the
passphrase? My guess would be that they are getting "lost".
I would start questioning the encoding of your input on that terminal,
but as you mention that you are using pinentry-curses over ssh, can you
even type the through ssh? I have seen ssh connections where characters
like á got dropped when some package/env variable wasn't set in the
remote server.
