... I also can create this problem at will --- yes ---
/usr/bin, in each instance --- note that running the command
thus:

   /usr/bin/ssh hostname /usr/bin/scp -t -f filespec

will similarly hang, and yield no error messages, nor messages
at either host.  It is acting like an non-passive, non-proxied
FTP connection --- like each side is waiting for a signal from
the other to proceed -- and not receiving it -- and so
stalling and timing out in an 'deadly embrace'

Markus: If you wish temporary user accounts on a pair of
affected hosts, please contact me off list.
