Currently the apt-add-repository does not support adding private PPAs, and it already mentions this when you try to add a private PPA, so this bug as decribed in the title does not exist anymore. Based on the latest comments, I am updating this to a Wishlist bug to support Private PPA's with the method described in comment 3.

Title:
  Support Private PPAs

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support
  adding private PPAs.

  software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
  permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
  API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
  you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
  possible for it to get the password etc.
