[Bug 1302812] Re: Explicit identity files are being used after implicit files are attempted

[Andreas Olsson]

It's an explicit behavior of the openssh client to try keys provided by
the ssh agent. If you don't want this behavior you can set the
IdentitiesOnly ssh config option.

I would assume that what is happening here is that you are using the
gnome-keyring as your ssh agent? From what I can see it automatically
adds any key it can find under ~/.ssh/.

(Not that I have much of an opinion either way in regards to whatever
there is a bug anywhere or not.)
