Thanks Sebastien for re-assigning.
And thank you Nathan, for taking the time to report this bug and helping
to make Ubuntu better. I appreciate the quality of this bug report and
I'm sure it'll be helpful to others experiencing the same issue.
I agree to the triage made so far, but in that case that is not more or less
than an openssh upstream feature request.
You should check if that was not resolved in the meantime. Bionic is on
1:7.6p1-4ubuntu0.3 while Current Disco Development release 19.04 is already on
upstreams latest 1:7.9p1-9.
Once confirmed to be upstream bug (by checking it exists in the latest
version), the best route to getting it fixed in Ubuntu in this case
would be to file an upstream bug if you're able to do that. Otherwise,
I'm not sure what we can do directly in Ubuntu to fix the problem.
OTOH it might also be worth to check if there is some key attribute that makes
it work again.
Here my current list:
$ ssh-add -l
4096 SHA256:... /home/paelzer/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
2048 SHA256:... ubuntu@cpaelzer-bastion (RSA)
4096 SHA256:... paelzer@lap (RSA)
4096 SHA256:... paelzer@swarm.naarz... (RSA)
You see all but the first one have the comment listed - yet I fail to see the
difference as they keys look the same and id_rsa{.pub} has the same style of
mentioning an id like the others that work. Never the less maybe a path for you
to evaluate (or clarify with upstream).
If you do end up filing an upstream bug, please link to it from (or at
least mention it) here. Thanks!

Title:
'ssh-add -l' doesn't like the key email/comment (unlike gnome-
keyring's agent used to)
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Updated today, it moved from
2018-03-26 08:11:25 upgrade gnome-keyring:amd64 3.27.4-2ubuntu1
3.28.0.1-1ubuntu1
to
2018-03-26 08:14:34 status installed gnome-keyring:amd64
3.28.0.1-1ubuntu1
After this, noticed that some local code that uses ssh key comments
(from 'ssh-add -l' output) for automatic annotations is no longer
working right.
Previously (example from 16.04):
nneul@skyhawk:~ $ ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:...... nn...@neulinger.org (RSA)
Now (from current 18):
nneul@infinity:~ $ ssh-add -l
2048 SHA256:...... /users/nneul/.ssh/id_rsa (RSA)
This is a negative change from my perspective as we are making use of that
comment for automatic annotations (not security sensitive) and things like
automatically populating git identity when managing a shared application
development/server accounts.
