I ended up putting this in my .emacs, which seems to work for me:
;; Tramp < 2.6: add -O option to scp
(when (string< tramp-version "2.6")
(setf (cdr (assoc `tramp-copy-args (assoc "scp" tramp-methods)))
(list (delete-dups (append `(("-O"))
(car (cdr (assoc `tramp-copy-args
(assoc "scp"
tramp-methods)))))))))
