Hello Andrew,

This is indeed a bug fixed in the FreeIPA 3.3.2. I see 2 options for your case:

1) Manually upload host's SSH public keys after the client was enrolled, using
the following command

$ ipa host-mod $CLIENT_FQDN --sshpubkey='$SSH_PUBKEY'


2) Manually apply the 2 patches in the ticket 3931 to your ipa-client-install
script as you are using FreeIPA client below version 3.3.2. Then the SSH pubkey
should upload automatically:
