--- Comment #8 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
I think I see what happened. sftp's command line parsing does this:

if (parse_user_host_path(*argv, &user, &host,
    &file1) == -1) {
        /* Treat as a plain hostname. */
        host = xstrdup(*argv);
        host = cleanhostname(host);
}

cleanhostname() removes the square brackets by looking at the first and
last characters, but in your example it'll get the username too and so
do nothing.
