[BLUG] scp -p preserving ownership through root user

I have some files that are owned on machine A by user X. As the root
user on machine A, I run

scp -p files root@machineB

The mode and modification times are preserved, but the ownership is
not. I know that with rsync -a the ownership is preserved, but
according ot the scp man page, ownership isn't preserved with -p. I
just got burned by this. Tell me if I'm insane or not but I could swear
that this worked before. It might have had this in a much older version
of scp, like the old non-openssh version of ssh.

Know your options.
