What needs to be done is to fix the ssh-host-config script.  It adds an
ACE for SYSTEM on /var/empty, /etc, and /var/log for no apparent reason.

I just sent a patch upstream which removes the code trying to generate
/etc and /var/log entirely (done by setup.exe) and which drops adding
a SYSTEM ACE to /var/empty.

A temporary workaround is either to remove the SYSTEM ACE:

  $ setfacl -d g:18: /var/empty

or to change /etc/sshd_config not to use privilege separation:

  UsePrivilegeSeparation no

However, this is obviously a problem for all existing installations.
OpenSSH 6.7p1 will be released pretty soon.  I will add a postinstall
script which removes the SYSTEM ACE from /var/empty at installation
time.
