Looking at the source for handling of the public key 
(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/essex/nova/api/openstack/compute/contrib/keypairs.py#L108), 
it's failing at generating the fingerprint for your key. Then if you look at the code for that 
(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/essex/nova/crypto.py#L119) you see the underlying 
command "ssh-keygen -q -l -f <public key file>". Maybe you can get to the root of the problem with 
your key by running that command manually.
