Yep, some forms of keys are no longer supported because security geeks decided they were insecure (like DSA and RSA version 1 keys). When this change first appeared I spent a lot of time getting rid of old keys and updating the authorized_keys file on lots of systems. This did happen a few fedora's ago, but if you didn't upgrade for a while, this may be the first time you've seen it.

RSA1 and DSA keys were dropped back in OpenSSH 7 (Fedora 23), in late 2015.  I *hope* this isn't anyone's first experience with a system that doesn't support them.

The bug is new, though.  If you had any old files sitting around, in the past they'd just be ignored.  At the moment, they actually block gnome-keyring from loading *any* keys, including new keys that are supported.
