Decrypting fails unless card status

Since some time, maybe since a minor system update, before decrypting
from my OpenPGP smart card, I always have to run:

gpg --card-status

Otherwise, I get an error message:

$ gpg --faked-system-time 20200101T000000 -d world.gpg
gpg: WARNING: running with faked system time: 2020-01-01 00:00:00
gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID 04FDF78D1679DD94, created
2016-12-17
"Felix E. Klee <felix.klee@inka.de>"
gpg: public key decryption failed: Invalid ID
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Note that I have to run with faked system time since I cannot extend the
validity of my key. Anyhow, even without faking the time, I get the
error message.

*Any idea how to get `gpg` back to normal?*

Update to GnuPG 2.2.25
(See the comments at https://dev.gnupg.org/T5052)

Is that a consequence of using a card?

No. I do have an accessible private key, but it’s more than 9,000 km
away, and traveling is not so easy these days.
