Are you sure the ssh public key file is not damaged? The following sequence of commands works for me (verified now):

[root at vm-154 tbabej]# ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): /home/tbabej/test_rsa
[..]

[root at vm-154 tbabej]# ipa user-mod admin --sshpubkey "$(cat test_rsa.pub)"
---------------------
Modified user "admin"
---------------------
  User login: admin
  Last name: Administrator
  Home directory: /home/admin
  Login shell: /bin/bash
[..]
