This might just be a special case of the problem of some hosting providers picking only the first key you provide, as described in this thread: https://public-inbox.org/git/20180103102840.27897-1-avarab@gmail.com/
If so, you either need to hack around this with ssh host aliases, or a custom GIT_SSH_COMMAND.
