Quote from src/sftp.c in libssh2:

/* Note: Version 6 was documented at the time of writing
  * However it was marked as "DO NOT IMPLEMENT" due to pending changes
  *
  * This release of libssh2 implements Version 5 with automatic downgrade
  * based on server's declaration

The document you link to above is that mentioned version 6. (Mentioned in
section 5 of the document.)

AFAIR, there are plenty of other bigger and smaller things in v6 that libssh2
doesn't support.
