After further investigations I have come to believe that it relates to SSH connection reuse.
After disabling any connection reuse I no longer encounter the error: ansible all -i hosts -m ping --ssh-extra-args="-o ControlMaster=no -o ControlPath=none -o ControlPersist=no" Doing this will of course impact performance so consider it a workaround until the cause of the error has been identified and fixed. You can also add the extra parameters in your inventory file using ansible_ssh_extra_args <http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_inventory.html#list-of-behavioral-inventory-parameters> .
