Not that this is really any help but seeing this discussion I thought
I would throw this in.

  echo echo one two three | ssh some-host sh

By using stdin to a shell I get two benefits.  I always get the same
shell regardless of the account's login shell.  I have a more
predictable, and to me easier to deal with, number of quoting layers
that need to be done.  YMMV and all of that.
