Does this change the quoting of scp paths with spaces etc?  The
quoting of scp is insane but at least it's a known quantity, and we
baked it into virt-p2v.

Yes. There are changes in the quoting, documented in 
https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.7 and 
https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.8

If you still need an old quoting, AFAIK, you should explicitly specify the scp protocol via -O command-line option.
