The things that cross my mind are libqca2 (sorry, I am on an RPM based system 
here) and a running gpg agent.

You can check for a running GPG agent with this command from a terminal:

  set | grep GPG_AGENT_INFO

This is how it looks here for me:

thb at thb-nb:~$ set | grep GPG_AGENT_INFO
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-ngvHmv/S.gpg-agent:20566:1

The actual value sure is different for you, but if present the agent is 
running.

Easy enough:

  gpg -d your-kmm-filename.kmy > test.xml
  kmymoney test.xml

KMyMoney has an indication inside the file that is was stored encrypted which 
does not change when you decrypt it manually. Therefore you might see a 
warning when you save the file that encryption is not available.

Yes, see above.

Hope that helps.
