Looks like this comes from this snippet in epg.el:epg--start:

    ;; Set GPG_TTY and TERM for pinentry-curses.  Note that we can't
    ;; use `terminal-name' here to get the real pty name for the child
    ;; process, though /dev/fd/0" is not portable.
    (with-temp-buffer
      (when (= (call-process "tty" "/dev/fd/0" t) 0)
        (delete-backward-char 1)
        (setq terminal-name (buffer-string))))

Obviously, this will never work on Windows.

I know nothing about this stuff, so I have no idea why you get there
now, but didn't get there before.  Maybe this will give you a hint to
start digging.
