I think you'll have to drop the key in a tmp file yourself.  Poking
around with strace a bit it looks like that is what zsh actually does
while bash gives what is essentially a named pipe where scp or ssh
will attempt a seek (???) and then fail to read.   The subsequent
prompt for a passphrase in nonsense - it has already given up and
closed it  by then.
