Got it. f:property is what I needed, it works beautifully inside an f:entry
with just the field name specified; all the rest of the detailed are inferred
as they should be, and the object is properly instantiated and persisted. As a
bonus, the help links for the fields of the embedded object work now too!

OK, I've gotten closer:
<j:scope>
<j:set var="descriptor" value="${descriptor.SSHConnectorDescriptor}"/>
<st:include ... />
</j:scope>
This gets the st:include-d Jelly to refer to the proper descriptor. However,
when the DataBoundConstructor for the class that has an SSHConnector field is
invoked, there is no SSHConnector instance passed in (it is null). I'm guessing
(with my limited knowledge) that this is because st:include doesn't create a
Jelly 'context', so Jelly wants to pass all of SSHConnector's form fields to
the containing class' constructor, instead of constructing an SSHConnector
instance itself.

Usually in this context ${descriptor} is already set by the control that lets
the user add an item to configuration (<f:optionalProperty> for example). If
that is not
true in your case because you are doing something special, and you know that
you are adding an SSHConnector specifically (i.e. this is not polymorphic),
then you can use
Descriptor<?> d = Jenkins.getInstance().getDescriptorOrDie(SSHConnector.class);
and bind that to ${descriptor} in your Jelly. (For such cases it would be a bit
easier to use a Groovy view.)
