In that case, without the -t parameter of ssh-keygen, you generate identity.pub, which is appropriate for protocol version 1. With the -t, you get id-rsa.pub, which should be put in authorized_keys2 for use with protocol version 2. When you use ssh or scp, the /etc/ssh/ssh*_config files are probably at default "Protocol 2,1" so that unless you say otherwise, protocol 2 is used.
