This doesn't seem like an ssh bug; rather smells like some FS
corruption to me.. I'll attach my copy of the relevant file, if that's
useful. Could you send your copy of that file, and then test what
happens if you replace it with my copy?
You were right - it was a corrupted file that caused this. The strange
thing was that before I filed the bugreport I tried everything from
--reinstall to replacing the file and nothing helped. Today I fixed the
file, did a "dpkg -P openssh-client" and reinstalled it from scratch -
and it started working again.
Sorry for the arguably incorrect bugreport.
