It seems that the problem isn't that ssh can't use the agent, but rather
that it's trying to use the keys listed in ssh_config directly first,
then falling back to the keys in the agent.

Hitting enter at the passphrase prompt enough times to cycle through the
valid ssh_config listed keys causes the login to succeed.  If there are
no valid keys listed in ssh_config, but there are keys in the agent we
get the expected behavior.

It's as though ssh is trying keys in the exact opposite order it's supposed to.
