--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
Yes - this is intentional.

ControlPath may contain %-expansions that need a hostname to expand
fully.

We could conceivably check to see whether ControlPath actually needs
this and make the hostname optional but 1) ControlPaths that use %h are
common and 2) I'd rather not make the argument parsing code more of a
maze than it already is.
