I'm quite certain the quotes wouldn't break this case. Here you have 
just plain git protocol without SSH.

The current implementation of fetchgit doesn't support SSH, judging from 
a brief look at its code. (BTW, fetchgit runs in a separate derivation, 
so it isn't affected by adding stuff to buildInputs, or even to $PATH.)

Maybe it's easy to add the support, I'll look again at it this evening 
(I hope), if noone else solves it beforehand. The main problem is the 
purity of ~/.ssh -- this directory just shouldn't be considered, as the 
behavior inherently impure. Adding key/password to parameters of 
fetchgit also doesn't seem very comfortable.
