I see. I wonder if we can fix the issue with the push from Host-B to Host-C since that would seem to be the most straightforward approach. What exactly goes wrong when you attempt this push? If we can't fix that incompatibility, there may be a way to get Host-B to push to Host-C without hitting it. E.g., if you have an OpenSSH 4.3 machine Host-D on a trusted network with Host-B, then you could set up an xinetd service on Host-D that invokes the daemon-over-ssh on Host-C and then have Host-B connect to that xinetd service without using the OpenSSH 3.9 at all.
