What component is actually calling ssh-askpass?

Setting SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=never has no effect for me either, but
that's because...

Jan  1 21:26:12 lorvorc ssh-agent[76961]: error: Fssh_notify_start:
exec(/usr/local/bin/ssh-askpass): No such file or directory

... ssh-askpass is called by a previously started ssh-agent that
doesn't know about the new environment variable.  The fact that
you have SSH_AUTH_SOCK set suggests that authentication requests
are also forwarded to an agent in your setup.
