[Bug 1493067] [NEW] ssh-copy-id fails by making assumptions about the default shell on the remote machine

ssh-copy-id  10.200.17.160
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: attempting to log in with the new key(s), to filter out any that are already installed
/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: INFO: 1 key(s) remain to be installed -- if you are prompted now it is to install the new keys
foo at 10.200.17.160's password: 
fish: Expected a command name, got token of type “Run job in background”. Did you mean “COMMAND; and COMMAND”? See the help section for the “and” builtin command by typing “help and”.
Standard input: 		mkdir -p .ssh && cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys || exit 1 ;
                                               ^

I expected to be able to copy my key.

An approach I see is for ssh-copy-id to run bash -c ....
