Indeed, the reported URL is not an RFC 3986 comformant URI. While

  ssh://example.com:/username/project.git

would be a kind of valid URI (the RFC doesn't forbid having an
empty port, see section 3.2.3), not having a path delimiter at
all however is not allowed. And fixing this by breaking RFC
comformant use cases is very suprising to me.
