OpenSSH for Windows is old.

Generally, the home directory is "." when ssh'ing in.

So, "scp id_rsa.pub server:.ssh/authorized_keys" will work (assuming 
id_rsa.pub is in your current directory and ".ssh" exists on the remote 
server and you're not worried about overwriting an existing 
.ssh/authorized_keys).


Simply:
# ssh server "mkdir .ssh"
# cat id_rsa.pub | ssh server "cat - >> .ssh/authorized_keys"

should do what you want.
