I second that explanation.

I had to debug something similar for someone else, but in this case 
their ssh passphrase was being stored in the keychain after an upgrade 
to macOS 10.12.  However it wasn't visible in keychain access. It needed 
to be removed manually using a sqlite command:

The same might also be true with gpg passphrases and 10.12.
