No, you're correct -- use of -T disables the none cipher.
I only checked actual packets (for plain-text) with tcpdump when testing
the above **without** -T. I found that -T disabled the warning message;
well duh, because it disables the none cipher.
TL;DR -- my above message ("use -T to disable the warning") is
absolutely wrong. The WARNING message to stderr, when a tty is
allocated, cannot be disabled to my knowledge -- the -n flag should
inhibit it, and I imagine this is intentional so that admins can use
-oCipher=none for backups on LANs, etc..
