after a very short and helpful conversation with the gnome-keyring
developers this problem is now resolved.
The problem is that the way gnome-keyring checks for public/private keys

The old process used to check for ~/.ssh/id_?sa
now it checks for a matching public key in a *.pub
this bug is now resolved and closed.

We just spend some time on #ubuntu-bugs triaging this one and this is
what we found out.
For some time the agent responsible for caching ssh passwords is Gnome
Keyring and dialog is displayed by gnome-keyring-prompt. Gnome Keyring,
as stated on its website supports both SSH v1 and SSH v2
