tramp doesn't authenticate with Pageant on Emacs 24 + Windows?

[George Oliver]

Hello and apologies, this is a repost from gnu.emacs.help, I should have mailed tramp-devel first.

I've recently installed 24.0.50.1. Previously I could use tramp 
with Pageant to authenticate without problems, however now this 
doesn't work. I get "FATAL ERROR: Disconnected: No supported 
authentication methods available (server sent: publickey)". 

Relevant part of my init.el: 

(require 'tramp) 
(setq tramp-default-method "plinkx") 
(add-to-list 'tramp-default-user-alist 
        '(nil ".*\\gmk\\.xen\\.prgmr\\.com\\'" "gmk")) 
;(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) 
(setq tramp-password-end-of-line "\r\n") 
(setq tramp-verbose 10) 

Running from the cmd works OK, see:

Using the Putty GUI works OK too.

Any ideas? Debug output follows my sig. 

thanks, George

I have to link the output as a file, because some NUL characters 
aren't letting me paste in the whole log unfortunately.
