ssh fails with "Argument cannot be null" if /etc/issue[.ssh] file exists [message #28285]

I am seeing the following error if I try to open an ssh connection using
the terminal to a remote machine that contains a /etc/issue or
/etc/issue.ssh file (even if it is blank):

Can't start terminals.
Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument
cannot be null)

If I remove this file, the connection works. Besides deleting the
/etc/issue* file, are there any other workarounds? Is there a known bug
for this?
