You should be able to use /dev/tty to interact with the controlling
terminal (when ssh has one).

Polluting stdin and stdout like that and make ssh useless for shell
pipelines or anything that uses ssh as a transport (eg sftp, scp,
rsync, git).

Anyway, this is working as intended so closing this bug.
