I am not seeing that, for either root or my regular non-root user.
You indicated you created your ~/.ssh/config as shown in your email. I
would check the configuration files in /etc/ssh.
It would be worth checking the permissions and ownerships.
unicorn:~$ namei -l ~/.ssh/config
f: /home/greg/.ssh/config
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root home
drwxr-xr-x greg greg greg
drwxr-xr-x greg greg .ssh
-rw-r--r-- greg greg config
My ~/.ssh files are for the most part even more restrictive
-rw------- 1 jeremy jeremy 446 Mar 2 08:51 config
-rw------- 1 jeremy jeremy 2602 Dec 11 11:47 id_rsa
-rw-r--r-- 1 jeremy jeremy 567 Dec 11 11:47 id_rsa.pub
However I've found the cause of the problem, but not necessarily
resolved the bug.
For some reason on my journey /etc/ssh/ssh_config had acquired
UserKnownHostsFile /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
changing to
# UserKnownHostsFile /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
stops this behaviour.
