I've imported Git upstream repository of mocha to find the change
responsible for that. It is caused by the following commit

  995bf434634a22d52a49e4972f66c73dd7e40775
    ClassMethod & InstanceMethod no longer use alias_method

which is somewhere between version 10.5 and 11.0.

This commit brings a modification of hide_original_method and
restore_original_method used in the stub method.

Reverting this change in Mocha makes the tests for net-sftp pass. I
don't understand yet all the implications of the new definition of these
two functions though, and what kind of changes should be applied to
net-sftp's tests...
