I've seen the same, and the issue was discussed on the list in the past.

OpenIndiana's default SSH (client and server) dates from the days when
Sun had their own fork of ssh -- I forget which branch theirs derives
from, but it's not from (portable) OpenSSH.

If you have the 'sfe' package publisher added on your OI system, there's
a 'network/openssh' package that contains OpenSSH 6.2.2 clients.  I
haven't tried it, but it will probably have support for newer algorithms
than the default (Sun) ssh.
