It's possible you're using gnome-keyring or similar as your ssh-agent,
and gnome-keyring doesn't seem to support ED25519 yet.  Is
$SSH_AUTH_SOCK something like /run/user/1000/keyring-BV4Hlb/ssh rather
than something like /tmp/ssh-6Vn2sejbdt1z/agent.18548?  I confirmed
that, for me, ssh-agent proper supports ED25519 while gnome-keyring
doesn't.
