Eclipse won't connect to git server using ssh private key on the new format [message #1698929]

I upgraded my ssh private keys to the new ssh key format (ssh-keygen -o). Looks like eclipse won't accept these new keys. Attempts to connect to my git server result in auth failure, just like if I provided no keys.

Using command line (git clone) they work fine.

I can't find absolutely no reference to anyone having this problem, so I assume I'm doing something wrong. Am I?

Full command line:

ssh-keygen -o -t rsa -b 16384 -C "A comment" -E sha256 -a 512 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa

My system:

Eclipse luna SR2 (20150219-0600)
Arch Linux 64 bit
OpenSSH_6.8p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2c 12 Jun 2015
GIT server is bitbucket

The Eclipse plugin for git is EGit, they have their forum at https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/48/
