Not sure what your arguing against as your comments below this pretty 
much re-enforce what I'm stating. Which is:

Scp should die, and we should add "sftp -U [file/path] host" feature as 
our recommended replacement.

As no amount of work will fix scp completely.  And every other solution 
makes it worse and more complex.
