If you call ssh-keygen -t ecdsa, there's no choice of curves to be made.
An ECDSA openssh key should work on any machine which has ECDSA openssh
keys enabled.  In theory.

If I generate a new ECDSA key with ssh-keygen from openssh-6.3p1-5,
the error message is the same when trying to use that key.

I hope that will fix it.  I'm just a bit puzzled that nobody seems to
have a problem yet.  I can't believe I'm trying to do something unusual.
