I use this bash function to start keychain to work around that issue.

function kc() {
   #Keychain invocation
   keychain ~/.ssh/id_rsa
   if [ -e ~/.ssh-agent-`hostname` ] ; then
       source ~/.ssh-agent-`hostname`
   elif [ -e ~/.keychain/`hostname`-sh ] ; then
       source ~/.keychain/`hostname`-sh
   fi
}
