It seems the behavior was changed in 2003.  It used to do what the man
page said, but it got changed to turn off all stderr output.  The
intent was to disable banners, but it also silences any errors, which I
think is undesirable.

     [scp.c]
     When called with -q, pass -q to ssh; suppresses SSH2 banner.  ok
