I replied privately by accident. The list was CC'd, not primary.

Damien's analysis is absolutely correct. This annoyance has bothered
me for a long time. The necessary description was tedious enough to
inhibit me from asking for help.

No need to fix JuiceSSH. It's authors ignore all contact anyway. Fixed
on my system with a simple bash command:
  "alias xssh="unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK; ssh".
