There's a patch to fix this attached to Bug #69.

In <20030326215613.GA11953 at folly>, markus at openbsd.org said it can be

I'd really like to fix this too -- if not for the existing $SSH_ASKPASS
then for _something_ -- I don't care too much if it's an environment
variable such $SIMON_SAYS_SSH_ASKPASS or a new 'AskPass' option.
