Thanks, will do.

As noted in my original post, I can and have set up public-key-based
connections.

The problem arose because my normal approach to getting my public key
from new Machine A to old Machine B is, once and once only, to use
password-authentication to move the public key.

I raised the issue here, even though I have alreadly worked around it,
in case there were others for whom public-key was unfamiliar or
otherwise problematic, and, frankly, because it seems like a bug, and
if Microsoft succeeds in moving more people to using PINs for login,
it will surely begin to bite others...
