That has simply nothing to do with SSH. Compare following:

No, (a) that read $LINE should be read LINE and (b) echo "foo bar" | something should preserve the quoted newline. Ssh does seem to be consuming stuff from the inherited piped stdin even though it isn't obvious what it does with it in a non-interactive scenario. But anything that reads stdin inside the loop would cause that (throw a 'cat >dev/null' in...).
