to be clear, i think the issue that you were having is that both
commands use pinentry-tty, but the former command has stdin coming from
the redirected file, not the tty.

fwiw, if you use --batch with --import, there will be no attempt to use
pinentry, ever, which should make both commands work without complaint.

hth,
