Please provide any additional information below.
I think the problem comes from the logic deciding which SSH client to use is in the UI, which doesn't get run in /qn "Shut up and just do it" mode. The logic removes the unwanted setting, but since it doesn't get run both settings are set, and the ssh.exe is last so it wins.
