[Twisted-Python] conch problem with ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 host key?

Here's buildbot's key:

buildbot.twistedmatrix.com ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZHNhLXNoYTItbmlzdHAyNTYAAAAIbmlzdHAyNTYAAABBBBcw4pr6WdgDMw7PbkvsuEdCqKQTtpLYPGoe7qkuQucuexYBiCkO/BeoB0wANX2cVmxUP0llpYJQL4w3cAR0csA=

I think you should be able to validate that even if you can't auth :)
