The null redirect was used for the /etc/issue to not be shown here. I mean 
although we dont have any tty attached, i assume the builtin should not do 
this. I only tested it with an older release, as you said, it seems to be 
corrected.

Although I can reproduce this in bash 4.2 it is not reproducible for
me in bash 4.3.  I assume that it was improved there.

One problem in your example is that your bash does not have a tty
attached to it.  Add -t to ssh and you will then get a tty and you
won't need to redirect 2>/dev/null anymore.

  ssh -t localhost bash
