OK, I'm still seeing the issue here. When I first try to connect it
always seems to fail to prompt me for a password and then gives an
error. I think the solution is to simply always ask for the password,
if the server requests it.

I'm still prompted for the password - though, on further investigation
it appears it's prompting me for the pass phrase for the key, *not*
the password. So I guess we need to change the message in this case.
