I did some experimentation today with different "stty cols" settings, and I'm pretty sure this is fixed. I believe that the commit that fixed it was probably https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?id=0e059cdf5fd86297546c63fa8607c24059118832 (note in particular "take character display widths into account for the progressmeter", in which case this has been fixed since OpenSSH 7.3p1, so since Ubuntu 16.10.
