My approach for interop testing of the official Debian packaging has
been to apply the patch I mentioned until such time as the Debian
packaging of Twisted catches up.

I don't know if it's worth having extra elaborate stuff in OpenSSH to
detect the situation without requiring a patch.  I kind of feel that the
test failure you encountered was detecting a legitimate interoperability
problem so avoiding it permanently wouldn't really be right.
