Okej, sorry, I guess I didn't read the logs as carefully as I should have. Anyhow, I'm rather sure your encrypted home directory is the reason why you can't use public key ssh auth. Considering that encryptfs decrypts your home directory, using your login password, at login time. Hence, when you'r trying to auth using your ssh key there really isn't any ~/.ssh/authorized_keys available for sshd to check against.
That said, I'm sure we can agree that it isn't a bug in openssh?
