Description

When ssh-add'ing a key to gpg-agent and not assigning a passphrase to store the
key in gpg-agent, the operation silenty fails. The Debian bug report cllaims
this is a regression.

Note that the usual confirm-no-passphrase dialog does not show up either.

I can reproduce this. Our test indeed feeds a passphrase to the agent.
