My guess is that the motd is getting printed from some other thing (ex:-
login). One way to check for this is to

PrintMotd yes

in sshd_config and see if motd appears one extra time. If it does, the
problem is somewhere else. If if does not, then it could be a bug in ssh.
What ssh version are you using? Which distribution are you using?
