I had a similar problem that didn't make sense to me but manually adding
the new ssh key to my agent (even though it was already there) fixed it
for me.

Next time I rebooted/restarted my X session the problem was resolved.

One annoying gotcha I hit after adding the new key to my agent was that
many places now failed to auth as it tried each key in my agent and
exceeded the MaxAuthTries in sshd

I hope that helps.

Yours Tony
