It seems to be so.

Let me explain the situation a bit:

My home machine, RELENG_7/i386, with fresh source and fresh ports tree, acts as 
my window to my work servers, some of them recognising my SSH key as trusted.

Before the upgrade, I had once pop-up asking for my key passphrase, then 
let me use this private key during my (home) session without further asking.

Now, when I try to connect to the host which even possibly want to check 
whether I want to present some key there, I got the pop-up. I even checked that 
I can connect to the host in question using plain xterm, and have usual 
password qiery.

Any other hints? Thank you!
