This is probably bug in ECDSA keys backporting, but we don't want to change default behaviour in this late release so changing documentation seems like a reasonable idea. The same information is also specified in the description of -h option in manual page for sshd. The man page needs to be fixed. ECDSA algorithms are not used by default intentionally as it could create a regression for some setups with broken clients which can't handle bigger packets during a transport layer initialization.
