SSH agent forwarding doesn't work on secondary authentication

Hello this is a bug report :

WinSCP bugged version : 5.21
Latest working version : 5.19.6
Windows version : Windows 10 Pro 21H2
Transfer Protocol : SFTP
Using GUI

Here is the error message (sorry it's in French I'll translate roughly) :
Authentication Log (see session log for more details) :
Using user "user@server@domain:SSH:user@access_control_server".
The server has refused the key.
We have a secure environment where we need to hop through a first server which doesn't use RSA keys for authentication and then a second server which does only use RSA keys to authenticate users.

Here is a extract of the session log:

I realize i forgot to say what the problem is ...
The session can't connect because it fails before authenticating on the secondary server.
We have found in the auth-logs that WinSCP doesn't seem to forward the RSA key but there is also a "fatal error" in WinSCP's log around that step.

Re: SSH agent forwarding doesn't work on secondary authentication

Thanks for your report. Can you please test the same authentication with PuTTY 0.77? Please post its event log.
