I'm not sure how you mean that turning off the agent might break things, but it
is obviously wrong for -i to be ignored.  Why can't you simply try keys
specified with -i before trying the agent?  You may need to lists of keys rather
than one: those explicitly requested, and those found by ssh.  The former are
tried before the agent.

At very least, this should be documented.  An option to turn off the agent might
be nice as well.
