Comment(by ikke@…):

 Sorry, I take it back. No bug after all. Idiot user instead... :(

 I selected the public key instead of private key. The Finnish translation
 has check box to use public key method, and after checking it it opens the
 browser for private key. It just doesn't mention that it's browsing
 private key instead of public key. Actually it doesn't mention what it's
 browsing. I didn't notice it asks for private key while clicking the
 public key method. I selected the public key id_dsa.pub. Only after while
 I noticed it mentiones the private key below the public key check-box.

 So confirming then that there is no bug after all :) . Since it checks the
 private key at connection time anyway, it could perhaps do it already at
 the time one selects the file and complain immediately. Then users like me
 would not waste your time... :)

 The exact error message would have been: "Invalid PEM structure, '-----
 BEGIN...' missing.". Sorry for trouble.
