I'm using a real developing system, no real-world data on it ;)
The logfile is created when running the decrypt ruby script, but is 
completely empty (i.e. 0 bytes), so no help from here.

This actually worries me. I downloaded the version (1.1.8) just 
yesterday morning from
http://www.gnupg.org/download/index.en.html
As that seems to be the latest version, I assume it should include the 
function?

At this point it just hangs, which I assume is caused by the same 
underlying problem as the decrypt function hanging. So it looks like I'm 
hitting a problem with the GPGME library and not them gem.
