Issue adding new deploy key with octokit.rb

I feel like I'm missing something glaringly obvious, but when calling .add_deploy_key I'm getting the following (user and repo below are placeholders):

Octokit::UnprocessableEntity:
POST https://api.github.com/repos///keys: 422 - Validation Failed Error summary: resource: PublicKey code: custom field: key message: key is invalid. It must begin with 'ssh-rsa' or 'ssh-dss'. Check that you're copying the public half of the key // See: http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/keys/#create

Here is an example of the generated key:

"ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQCluDMepWvk7Ur68mj0RVJ0W419FiiZdHgClBF7z56uK5LzMfc5H4K91EI2uvepNwMu8U0+mgFr4PKmxgnKa+eclQqpxpohX+aCMQ3tkbeuPZ7XF5y1yMahNXHZAXIhBSlbjbA/GmmkGHc+wA4n0ey1wR6rWwdMa/fQ5/H8P3sRKSgkvpx9BNBf95CZpewiwtCNDwhOak3+XbYJDcYGMh1nd2Jp4Fu3r6H7jff9Krz4Wsa1dpRBKBhvYDWhv8+l4AMG6ghUDiP5YDFF9IacSxp1OHTCOcRbDXWlq60NXJNvVpyWNP7xXPb0STcE5jZ1UK+0DkBV0ESWRJZLo18l54U9"

If I take this exact same key and paste it into the web UI, it accepts it just fine. I'm authenticated with an Oauth access token.

Any pointers?

This seems to somehow have been a temporary issue... the exact same code works fine today.
