Hmm, I just tested pretty much exactly the same situation and it works just
great.
The CVSROOT I used is :ssh:ogiesen at cvs.cvsgui.sf.net:/cvsroot/cvsgui. My
local Windows username is a different one. My private key is loaded into
Pageant. I can run commands on the server without having to enter my
password.
For testing I renamed the whole PuTTY registry key to simulate a first-time
run. At the first attempt to run a command, I got the message about caching
the server's fingerprint which I confirmed. From then on everything worked
without any problems at all.

Cheers,

Oliver
