Well, it works here; could you send your ~/.ssh/config that does not 
work?

As for known_hosts - no, it was never used as far as I know. May be it

Completion  of remote pathname requires passwordless authentication 
(i.e. public key in most cases) and of course host name must be known at 
this point.
