Looks like the only risk is you :)
How would you modify a key without wanting it?!
As I mentioned before - to me it looks like your use case is invalid.

Unless it is desired to work the way it is - tell this to the gnupg
developers, they will enjoy it :), but as I mentioned before they are
pretty helpful and open for good ideas - who knows - perhaps they will
understand your need. I personally don't.
In fact you can run as many instances of gpg as you wish - only the agent
will be just one (started by the first instance) and it is good so - and
you understand now why, hopefully.
BTW there are many other programs - for example ssh, databases, apache
server etc., where you also can not run many instances ;-) - perhaps they
are also badly designed.
