I could be wrong (I assumed the server config).  However, even in the
client case, could the ssh client be connecting to either a protocol 1 sshd
or a protcol 2 sshd.  If you list "Protocol 1", attempts to contact a
protocol 2 only sshd would fail; if you list "Protocol 2", attempts to
contact a protocol 1 only sshd would fail; if you list "Protocol 1,2",
attempts to contact either a protocol 1 or protocol 2 only server would
succeed.  Note that these are all assumptions and I should really check the
code for confirmation but the man page seems to agree:

     Protocol
             Specifies the protocol versions ssh should support in order of
             preference.  The possible values are ``1'' and ``2''.  Multiple
             versions must be comma-separated.  The default is ``1,2''.  This
             means that ssh tries version 1 and falls back to version 2 if
             version 1 is not available.
