You are correct.  sftp directly does a 'addargs(&args, "-oProtocol %d", 
sshvar)' where sshvar is *ALWAYS* a value of 2 unless you use -1 as a 
commandline argument.

Since sftp never parses the .ssh/config nor ssh_config directly it has no clue 
that you want to default to protocol 1.  Only the underlying ssh connection 
reads those files (same with scp).

Since sftp uses a 'subsystem' and was created for protocol 2.. The -1 support 
is really a hack to allow it to work.

As a result, I think I'm going to tag this as 'Enhancement'.
