I think it doesn't have to be an RST, a normal connection closing
would also lead to this error. I've seen a very similar error a couple
of months ago when the OTP SFTP client did something similar as you,
i.e. it had a

{ok, PeerAddr} = inet:peername(Socket),

call soon after the Socket was created and sometimes this crashed with
a badmatch. The SFTP client has been fixed in R15B01, so there's a
case and error handling instead of the matching.
