I connect to some SSH1 and some SSH2 servers from my Linux machine.  I
have 1.2.6 and 2.0.11 installed, and the compatibility settings are in the
V2 config files so that ssh2 will fallback to ssh1 when connecting to an
ssh1 server.  Fallback to v1 for interactive sessions (ssh machinename)
works fine.

However, scp2 isn't falling back correctly - I get
  Executing /usr/local/bin/ssh1 for ssh1 compatibility.
  command-line line 0: Bad configuration option.
  Connection lost.
when I run 'scp machine.name:file .'.  scp is symlinked to scp2, of
course.  'scp -1 machine.name:file .' works correctly, and prints a
slightly different warning:
  warning: Executing scp1 compatibility.

Is this a bug in 2.0.11 or am I doing something wrong?  Any thoughts
appreciated.

For excessive documentation, here are the results of scp -v and scp -1 -v,
with machine name obscured:
