A-ha, sorry then.

Odd, but yes, does the same on my host. I'm wondering why it does that?
What about some other illegal addresses, like 0.0.0.1?

$ ssh 0.0.0.1
ssh: connect to host 0.0.0.1 port 22: Invalid argument
$ ssh -o random 0.0.0.1
command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: random

so it looks usable and doesn't require an invalid port.

I've set the options manually, so I'm good about this. I was just
preoccupied about the default behavior on load.
