Perhaps you can try to read the stderr channel to get the error message 
itself.(I had a few similar cases where that really helped in diagnosing 
problems). That doesn't help as much as an error code, but it is a start.

Yes, I expect it is — OTOH, the scp client was able to print the appropriate 
error message, so it must be doing something that my program doesn’t do, in 
order to do that.

The server is the sshd that ships with Debian Linux; I’m not very clear about 
who to contact about that…
