I think zero. I think the warning goes in the man page:
--allow-insecure-short-key This option allows use of keys shorter
than 1024 bits, however, it is known that such keys can be broken quite
quickly. You never want to use this option, unless you are connecting
to a server which does not allow a longer key.
