[Twisted-Python] conch problem with ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 host key?

It works:

$ conch twistedmatrix.com echo hooray
hooray
      $ conch --version
Twisted version: 16.6.0dev0
$ 

That's using an RSA host key though.  It seems that the hosts I have using ECDSA keys (buildbot.twistedmatrix.com <http://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/>, for example) still don't work with conch.  Is that expected at this point?
