OpenSSH_5.3p1 clients will not print the following warning when a correct password is provided but it is expired: Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator.

It might confuse users since they do not know what is going on and why the password has not been accepted. You must add the parameter -v (ssh xx.xx.xx.xx -v), the account expiration prompt will appear.

But OpenSSH_4.3p2 have the account expiration prompt when a correct password is provided but it is expired.

5.3 was released almost 7 years ago.  Can you reproduce the problem with the current version (7.3)?

There are many variables including client and server config that you have not specified so I can't even guess what's going on, but if you wish to investigate yourself I suggest running both clients with ssh -vvv and comparing the output.

That said, if the problem doesn't exist in the current versions there's not much we can do to help.

Without at least a debug trace there is nothing that we can do with this.  Please reopen if you can supply the requested trace or if the problem occurs with the most recent version (7.3p1).

Close all resolved bugs after release of OpenSSH 7.7.
