This is a guess, but because scp must execute a shell on the server I
can see that it has to have some limitations. Also, the SCP protocol
(really RCP protocol) is very old.

It could also be a bug because of how scp executes ssh. What happens
if you exhaust all methods available for specifying usernames?
