Not quite, I have the converse problem -- using the modern ssh client and being unable to connect to an older embedded ssh server. But your solution indicates that in the ssh server implementation the explicit compatibility mode actually works.
Encryption options can be selected by the client so long as they are available e.g.: ssh -X -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss -oPubKeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+dsa or by adding a host-specific option in a ~/.ssh/config entry. See ssh_config(5) and ssh -Q options.
