Heh, it turned out to be ~/.cshrc on the remote system. Definitely not
something I would have predicted. It looked like this:

if ($?prompt) then
    # An interactive shell -- set some stuff up
    set filec
    set history = 100
    set savehist = 100
    set mail = (/var/mail/$USER)
    if ( $?tcsh ) then
        bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word
        bindkey -k up history-search-backward
        bindkey -k down history-search-forward
    endif
endif
exec /usr/local/bin/bash

Evidently, "exec /usr/local/bin/bash" was confusing scp. Putting the
exec statement inside the last endif fixed it:

f ($?prompt) then
        # An interactive shell -- set some stuff up
        set filec
        set history = 100
        set savehist = 100
        set mail = (/var/mail/$USER)
        if ( $?tcsh ) then
                bindkey "^W" backward-delete-word
                bindkey -k up history-search-backward
                bindkey -k down history-search-forward
        endif
        exec /usr/local/bin/bash
endif

Go figure.
