I think that's the way PAM works.

Isn't the idea of 2FA to use both the password and a challenge auth token? Users
will need to supply their password anyway, so I don't see the problem at hand
currently. Do we get two windows, one for the password (or private key
passphrase) and one for the verification code, EVEN THOUGH the password/private
key passphrase has been set directly in the session config or via an SSH agent?

Copying the prompt actually sounds like a good idea, though, yeah.
