Binary package hint: gvfs
Even though my password is correctly saved in gnome keyring, openssh asks me to manually input it everytime I change directories in a sftp:// address with nautilus.

I keep getting this to this day. Here's a screenshot of how it looks like. It really looks as if openssh client itself was interfering with gvfs or something.
To reproduce: user@server
1. Use nautilus to connect to a password-based SSH server, such as sftp://
2. When prompted if you want to remember the password, select "only for this session"
3. Move around. As soon as you change folders, this intrusive and modal openssh dialog will show up.
