The last packet that the clients sends acks 311 and at the same time
sacks 299:311 (although this range is included in the ack 311.

I believe this is called DSACK and is some experimental TCP feature. 
Given that this is the last packet that gets through, it is suspiceous.
Try to switch it off (client side):
  echo "0" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_dsack

While you are at it, try to switch off the rest of the advanced tcp
features: tcp_ecn, tcp_sack, tcp_timestamps

The ssh debug output seems to indicate that the server closed the
connection, but there are no reset or fin packets in the trace. This is
strange, too.

You could try to rule out the network problems in the following way: Use
the working ssh user id to set up a ssh tunnel:

client>  ssh workinguser@server -L 12345:localhost:22

While this is running try to connect via the ssh tunnel:

client>  ssh problemuser@localhost:12345
