Ok you did your homework. :)

Without information I can just guess, but I think it has to be a
configuration failure. Maybe you should ask better a ssh-user  
mailinglist.
secureshell@securityfocus.com

Provide them your ssh version and output of ssh -vvv, then I am sure  
they
will understand and solve your problem.
