Comment:

 Thanks for posting this @jobst!

 It's important to have this detail on the ticket for historical purposes.
 That way, years from now, the exact issue and data can be seen without
 needing to review code/install an old version to reproduce.

 As we don't yet have a testable patch (i.e. a `.diff`, `.patch` or a PR),
 I'll remove `has-patch` and add `needs-patch`. Removing `reporter-
 feedback` and milestoning for `Future Release` until we have a patch and
 test reports from someone other than the patch author.

 In the meantime, for example, a Must-Use plugin that initializes the
 `$wp_filesystem` global variable as a `WP_Filesystem_SSH2` object with
 valid arguments for the system, followed by a call to
 `wp_filesystem->connect()` may ensure the later calls by plugins work as
 expected, as `! $wp_filesystem` conditions should fail and its current
 (correct) value should be used used.
