These are only supported in the unreleased snapshot versions.

The OpenBSD manpages served on www.openbsd.org are for the current
development version.

You're welcome to try the snapshots if you need this feature sooner than
our next release (early next year, most likely). You can find them via
http://www.openssh.com/portable.html#cvs 

We try to keep the development version stable at all times, but the
snapshots are not as heavily tested as the release versions. That being
said, Ubuntu 12.04 is one of the platforms I regularly run the regress
suite on.
