I think specifying the port in the filename is rather unusual, this
would explain why others haven't seen the problem.

It now occurs to me that you can also specify the port in the ssh
configuration.  For example, consider the following ~/.ssh/config
snippet:

Host foo
    HostName foobar.somedomain.tld
    Port 4711

Then, specifying "foo" as the hostname will cause ssh to contact the
host foobar.somedomain.tld on port 4711.

Does this help, as a workaround?
