When I do a 'hg sign' I am asked for my passphrase just fine -- I'm
running a Debian Unstable and I don't think I have changed anything with
relation to this. I got this output:

% hg sign
Signing 813:33f8fbf147a7

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Martin Geisler <mgeisler at mgeisler.net>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 7E45DD38, created 2005-02-14

gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session
Enter passphrase: 
gpg: Interrupt caught ... exiting
interrupted!

(I pressed Control-C to cancel the signing.)
