I wonder if it is even finding the file in the first place.

strace psql  --host=localhost --port=5432 --username=postgres
--no-password 2>&1 | fgrep pgpass

This is what I get:

stat("/home/jjanes/.pgpass", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=196, ...}) = 0
open("/home/jjanes/.pgpass", O_RDONLY)  = 3

For me it found the file and opened it successfully.
