Yeah, it explicitely opens /dev/tty and switches to echo off.

BTW, I don't understand why you need expect for entering the
passphrase. That's exactly the purpose of ssh-agent, ssh-add:

	$ ssh-agent bash
	bash-2.05$ ssh-add
	Enter passphrase ...
	bash-2.05$ ssh -l username -p 1010 hostname "ls -l"
	<...do whatever you want to do with ssh without the need
	 to enter the passphrase again...>
	bash-2.05$ exit
