ssh-add broken?

My RSA private key stashed in a file that says
SSH PRIVATE KEY FILE FORMAT 1.1 has functioned
forever.

In fedora23, however the ssh-add command does this:

tomh> ssh-add /home/tweety/.ssh/identity
Enter passphrase for /home/tweety/.ssh/identity: 
Bad passphrase, try again for /home/tweety/.ssh/identity: 

(I couldn't possibly have typo'ed the passphrase
as many times as I've tried :-).

If I use the identical private key file in
fedora22, ssh-add works fine.

Is there is bug in some crypto library or something?
