Currently the apt-add-repository does not support adding private PPAs, and it already mentions this when you try to add a private PPA, so this bug as decribed in the title does not exist anymore. Based on the latest comments, I am updating this to a Wishlist bug to support Private PPA's with the method described in comment 3.
