I don't understand all this (apart from the first bit,
commented on separately). ssh comes up without any fuss at all.
It always has done.
Just to show you, I did the following: closed down agog, booted it up
again (waking it through the wired ethernet interface), unlocked the
encrypted /home partition, and logged in again as myself; all done
without getting out of my armchair.
(The first login is to a pseudo-user whose home directory and
.bash_profile is in /var/local/home/unlock/.bash_profile, and
which unlocks and mounts /home, and logs out, all automatically.)
Here's what I see on my screen as it all takes place:
