It shouldn't. There is a clear directive to use plink on your local
machine, if you use a file name like
"/plink:username@machine|sshx:username@machine2:"

Have you tried sole "/plink:username@machine:"?

Do you use packages which keep information over Emacs sessions, like
recentf.el or desktop.el?
