Summary of problem (for me):

* ssh host     fails with "ssh Agent admitted failure"
* SSH_AUTH_SOCK= ssh host     works just fine
* Conclusion:  gnome-keyring can't deal with complex keys

WORKAROUND:

mv $SSH_AUTH_SOCK $SSH_AUTH_SOCK.broken
ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK

This is a new instance of ssh-agent, so it won't have any keys in it
(despite what seahorse says, since that's tied to the .broken agent).
You'll have to add them via ssh-add.
