I don't have a test setup for that. Kleopatra currently polls gpg-agent if a
smartcard is available.

According to Gniibe this might be causing this problem. I'm planning to change
that to switch to looking for readerstatus files that are created when a
smartcard becomes known. But this still might cause the smartcard to be locked
by scdaemon? I'm not sure.

Kleopatra no longer polls gpg-agent it queries the smartcard status once at startup and then only if you open the "Manage Smartcards" menu. So I think this is fixed (gpg4win-3.0)
