But it didn't. At first it complained about not being able to write to
//.ssh/identity; I modified ssh-config to make sure the // wasn't
messing it up, but it still reported it couldn't create it.

  bash-2.04$ ssh-keygen -f "${HOME}/.ssh/identity"

  Key generation complete.
  Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): 
  Enter same passphrase again: 
  Saving the key failed: //.ssh/identity: No such host or network path.
  bash-2.04$ ssh-keygen -f "/.ssh/identity"

Okay. A log file is attached. Since I was trying with your ssh (v2), it
appears it must be the ssh_dsa_host_key file, but ...

  bash-2.04$ ls /usr/local/etc
  ssh_config            ssh_host_key          ssh_known_hosts
  ssh_host_dsa_key      ssh_host_key.pub      sshd_config
  ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

I also just tried renaming the dsa files as you state above (dsa_host
rather than host_dsa as in ssh-config), but that doesn't help either.
