thanks

So i looked into this further.  And while gnome-keyring has dubious
behavior, it actually correctly reports when it does not support
constraints.  See the discussion with gnome folks here:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525574

The most serious bug is in ssh-add, which sees the failure to add-key
with constraints, and then goes ahead and tries to re-submit the key
*without* constraints.  I've reported this to openssh upstream, along
with a patch:

  https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1612

they seem to be indicating (via bugzilla bug blocking/dependency trees)
that the patch will be incorporated into OpenSSH by version 5.4.
