Yup, removing the colon works in both 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. And I see that the manual doesn't use the colon! (eg. $ git clone ssh://user@server/project.git). The usage of the colon looks normal to my eyes because, for instance, SFTP uses it to set the path on login so this wasn't something I would have even considered. I'm sure I've seen it other places but I can't remember right now.
