Ah, that was the clue I was looking for... I'd copied the contents of
id_dsa.pub to authorized_keys, not authorized_keys2. Now I can add a
key to the agent, and all is fine.

Any reason why you recommend 2048 bit keys (and no passphrase)?
ssh-keygen(1) says anything over 1024 (the default) just slows things
down.
