First smartcard operation always fails

Hi, all.
I've had a pgp smartcard v2.1 for years now (two, actually), and I've
noticed that no matter what operation I perform, the first attempt after
inserting the card, or waking from sleep with the card inserted, fails.
Example:
```
andrewg at fred:~$ ssh my.server
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation
andrewg at my.server's password: ^C
andrewg at fred:~$ ssh my.server
Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-92-lowlatency x86_64)
```
A similar thing happens with signing emails, and my signing and
authentication subkeys are distinct.
This has been bugging me for as long as I can remember, across different
machines, different software versions and OSes (Linux and Mac), and
using both smartcards.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
