chaining AUTH methods -- adding GoogleAuthenticator 2nd Factor to pubkey auth? can't get the GA prompt :-/

I added an EXPLICIT

    AuthenticationMethods  publickey,keyboard-interactive
+    UsePam yes

to sshd_config.  Now, at connect attempt I get

Password:
Verification code:
Password:
Verification code:
Password:
...

I.e.,

It's asking for Password, not accepting pubkey

AND

when given the password (which is correct), and the GA VerificationCode, it
simply repeats the credentials request.

figuring out what is happening is pretty hard without logs from the client
and server.
