That's not true - it's a brand-new transfer. And ls -l on the file in the
remote end does not show nearly as much (as expected from my connection).

Well, it's not what happens in this case.

I'm re-opening this bug, because your explanation was not true. Sorry for not
stating earlier that this was a brand new transfer.
