Yeah it's not intended, but that's also the first I've heard of it.
We should fix that, thanks for the heads up!
Can you file a github ticket for this?
We can modify our JSON parsing to start at the first "{" and it would
bypass this problem, though there may also be some cleaner solutions
people can think of.
I have opened a github ticket. Thanks for the quick response.

Ok, so I misread.
This isn't breaking parsing, it's breaking native scp and sftp, and
has been reported as early as 2005.
There isn't much we can do here, but I have increased the logging if
you are using Paramiko, so at least it will tell you "Garbage packet
recieved" now.
