It does, but it doesn't really work very well -- it must use some
different mechanism than the ordinary (no agent specified at all) case
because it only prompts once (doesn't re-prompt if you give a wrong
password) and seems generally seems more flaky (fails in more cases,
e.g., given other options that ordinarily don't preclude password entry).
