Yes, this is also mentioned in the manual:

| To carry out this request, Emacs uses either the FTP program or a
| remote-login program such as `ssh', `rlogin', or `telnet'. You can

|
| 1. If the host name starts with `ftp.' (with dot), then Emacs uses
| FTP.
|
| 2. If the user name is `ftp' or `anonymous', then Emacs uses FTP.
|
| 3. Otherwise, Emacs uses `ssh'.

I'd prefer to close the bug, but this is the maintainer's decision.
