I am not 100% sure it's not the OpenSSH client. These two debug lines
make me think there's something more to check:

debug3: muxserver_listen: temporary control path /tmp/sshcontrol-f1b458a85cd2aa9d5c115abc12afee9f485ad6b0.OqWT4bhQP7Hgit3A
debug1: channel 1: new [/tmp/sshcontrol-f1b458a85cd2aa9d5c115abc12afee9f485ad6b0]

The former path matches what lsof reports (without arguments), the latter matches what the file system does.
At line 1262 the path appendix is created in a for loop.
The expanded path (options.control_path) is then passed to the unix_listener function.

That path extension is clearly created by OpenSSH client that way.
But maybe there's something going wrong with the subsequent move, as lsof is still reporting that expanded path!

Title:
  ControlPath unix socket is created in a weird way

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  STEPS.

  1. Create a ControlPath socket with something like "-o ControlPath=/tmp/sshcontrol-%C" during an SSH connection.
  2. Check with ls the socket is there. I am getting

  srw------- 1 enzo enzo  0 2016-06-17 10:17:21 sshcontrol-
  369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705

  3. Ask lsof who's that socket belonging to:

  lsof /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705

  4. Ask lsof the same but with grep

  lsof | grep /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705

  ACTUAL RESULTS.
  For step no. 3 I am getting nothing (but the WARNING about /sys/kernel/debug/tracing)
  For step no. 4 I am getting:

  [enzo@Feynman ~] lsof | grep /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705
  lsof: WARNING: can't stat() tracefs file system /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
        Output information may be incomplete.
  ssh       10667             enzo    4u     unix 0x0000000000000000       0t0     173813 /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705.NDScoG3mgs0mWc4q type=STREAM

  Where you can see clearly that the socket name has a trailing part
  ".NDScoG3mgs0mWc4q".

  EXTRA STEP.
  5. Ask lsof about the socket with the extended name

  EXTRA RESULT

  [enzo@Feynman ~] lsof /tmp/sshcontrol-369d1187d3900c559f063f947218528001d0e705.NDScoG3mgs0mWc4q

  EXPECTED RESULT
  A reasonable output from lsof detailing the real and actual unix socket.
