curl scp upload failing (curl 7.18.2)

When uploading a file via scp:// to an SSH server , the file is created
with size 0, then curl fails.
Message is:
* Failed to get channel EOF: -1
* Channel failed to close: -1
I tried two different SSH servers and curl client both on Solaris and
Linux. And even curl with socks4 and scp.
Using the scp command directly doesn't show an error.

The wohle curl session is
curl -vvv --key /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa --pubkey
/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub --user user: \
 -T KV7030_testfile0 scp://localhost/home/user/KV7030_testfile0.scp

--trace-ascii additionally shows one or more "Send data" blocks

libssh2 (0.18) doesn't seem to be the problem since example/simple/scp_write
is uploading the same file without problems.
