I am quite no sure whether this is releted to sshd or powershell?

You need to use "powershell -File -" instead of just typing powershell in remote sshd session. It is a known issue due to both how powershell remotely works and how win32 ported sshd is currently designed only providing streammode/linemode features and not true windows console underneath. See closed issue #16 for full description on why you need this special options (- File -) to run powershell in sshd.
