I _think_ this got finally fixed in the last upload, right now the behaviour is
this:
autossh -M <port> <host> # connects to <host> using monitoring <port>
AUTOSSH_PORT=<port> autossh <host> # connects to <host> using monitoring <port>
autossh <host> # tries random monitoring port
autossh -- -M <host> # connects to host using random monitoring port but passes
-M to ssh
so, the bug seems closed if that is okay with you,
