It is not handled by Subclipse at all. If you use JavaHL, it uses the
same configuration as the command line. If you use SVNKit, it uses
its own SSH client (does not use Pageant or any of your SSH
infrastructure). SVNKit, does however provide GUI prompts to gather
information about things like certificates. I think they need to be
OpenSSH format, not Putty.

If it worked before, you probably were using SVNKit. The latest
version of SVNKit, is using a newer version of their SSH client. I
suppose it could have problems. It could also be that you did not
realize it does not work with Pageant.
