No such luck. Just tried it using the latest WordPress from SVN trunk, a fresh check-out with no plugins installed or enabled, same result.

However, I make this code change:

$ svn di ./wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ssh2.php
Index: wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ssh2.php
===================================================================
--- wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ssh2.php	(revision 12131)

 			return false;

 		$ret = array();
-		$dir = @dir('ssh2.sftp://' . $this->sftp_link .'/' . ltrim($path, '/') );
+		$dir = @dir($path);

 		if ( ! $dir )
 			return false;

And it works.
