huh?

so with multiple @'s, you're doing the equivalent of

 ssh jumphost -l "myuser at technicaluser@targethost"

?

it sounds like the jumphost has a funny sshd configuration that turns
"myuser at technicaluser@targethost" into something like, "username =
myuser + forcecommand ssh myuser at targethost"

maybe try something like

Match Host targethost
  User myuser at technicaluser@targethost
  Hostname jumphost
