I use this bash function to start keychain to work around that issue.

function kc() {
    #Keychain invocation
    keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    if [ -e ~/.ssh-agent-`hostname` ] ; then
        source ~/.ssh-agent-`hostname`
    elif [ -e ~/.keychain/`hostname`-sh ] ; then
        source ~/.keychain/`hostname`-sh
    fi
}
