--- Comment #8 from comm+openssh at squotd.net ---
A standalone public key file does not make this go away.

The error comes from this:

https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/blob/3779b50ee952078018a5d9e1df20977f4355df17/sshkey.c#L3978

The buffer is being checked for "-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----",
but it in fact (in my case) starts with "-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE
KEY-----"

The identical identity file using openssh 7.9p1 produces no warning.

I'll add an attachment with the bt.
