The path to the helper cannot be hardcoded, and it needs to be in
$PATH, because the shell snippet is generated on the client side but
executed on the server side. The two could have been configured with
different prefixes, as is going to be the case for example when a
macOS client connects to a Linux server.

This does indeed look like a bug.
