The "problem" I encounter is difficult to narrow, but I can tell you now that,
in my case, the question is asked for buffers which do not contain any tagged
entry with "crypt" (neither the string "crypt" as word or subword of that
buffer):

I simply call C-c C-x C-j to jump to the current clocking entry, and the
question "org-decrypt: auto-save-mode may cause leakage. Disable it for
current buffer? (y or n)" pops up -- while the current buffer has nothing
special, as said above.

This is reproducible for me, with Git version of this morning.

Best regards,
  Seb
