Now here's an odd thing. If my .pinerc specifies an ssh-path that
points directly at /usr/local/bin/ssh, then pine will not connect to
our imap server in ssh mode (it falls back to plain-text imap
authentication).

Oddly, however, things work just fine under openssh-2.1.1p{1,2} if I
point ssh-path at a very simple wrapper script:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/ssh $* 2> /dev/null
