I tried to explain, but maybe the mail was too long: Previously, right
after logging in I would see the keys with ssh-add -l, but I would
only be asked for the passphrase on their first usage.

Now they are not listed and if I try to add them I'm asked for the
pssphrase immediately.

I'm invoking gpg-agent directly in the ssh-agent replacment scrip (see
my OP).
