--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
This is how it's always worked: first match for a specifc keyword wins.
 Quoting ssh_config(5):

     For each parameter, the first obtained value will be used.  The
configu-
     ration files contain sections separated by Host specifications,
and that
     section is only applied for hosts that match one of the patterns
given in
     the specification.

If you want to override User, put it at the top of the file.  If you
want to provide a default User, put it at the bottom of the file.
