Now `auth-sources' defaults to `((:source "~/.authinfo.gpg"))',
which causes `auth-source-pick' to perform:

(plist-get "~/.authinfo.gpg" :secrets)

Emacs 22/23/24 returns nil for it, however it makes Emacs 21 and
XEmacs cause an error and prevents Gnus from starting.  This
workaround makes it work:
