Hi,
Yep, something broke for the case when you use server names that have
suffixes added automatically by /etc/resolv.conf 'search' setting.
You have the SSH key saved for 'foobar' and yet it tries to connect
to 'foobar.full.domain', which then prompts a new security question,
as if you never connected to it before, because it's a different name.
Excerpt from the debug output:

When I uncomment that warn call, the extra output is:
Running:/usr/bin/ssh -x -o ConnectTimeout=10 myhostname.my.fqdn || sleep 5
That's the problem for me - it should have simply used 'myhostname'
instead of 'myhostname.my.fqdn'.
This should be reverted for the sake of us with .ssh/known_hosts files
that are multiple hundred lines log, and who still wish to continue to be
able to do simple 'ssh myhostname' to get to that. It can be provided as an
option for people who want the new behaviour.
