Comment (by T_X):

 Hmm, weird, I'm also using OpenSSH 5.5p1, but on Debian squeeze though...
 Ah wait, just found what's different: I'm copying _from_ tahoe-lafs _to_ a
 local directory. You're doing it the other way around and there I also get
 that "lost connection". However when copying from tahoe-lafs, there I
 don't get it:

 {{{
 $ scp -oport=8022 /tmp/8BP102.gif-2  root at 127.0.0.1:/; echo $?
 root at 127.0.0.1's password:
 lost connection
 1
 $ scp -oport=8022 root at 127.0.0.1:/music/8bitpeoples/8BP102.gif /tmp/; echo
 $?
 root at 127.0.0.1's password:
 1
 $
 }}}

 And at least scp gives some sort of error return code, just no error
 message via stdout/stderr appears.
