The problem is that git-lfs recently started to support the GIT_SSH environment variable, which SourceTree sets to openssh_wrapper.sh in order to turn off things like user prompts. While that works perfectly well from Git, which is operating inside a Git Bash environment, git-lfs is a Windows executable which does not understand how to directly call a Bash shell script.
Temporary workaround is to use PuTTY for SSH, or HTTPS URLs.
