Thanks for the suggestion but I did set it and it doesn't seem to make a
difference if I have it set or unset in my /etc/ssh/ssh_config file. In
fact the \digits I get is very similar to the output of ssh-keysign when
run on its own.

Interestingly when I run ssh-keysign it produces output like:
	\151\147n\157r\151n\147 b\141\144 \160r\157\164\157 \1
and quits. When I run the working ssh-keysign from 3.4 it waits for
input. This seems odd....
