It is normal behavior for ssh to cache, in a known-hosts-file,
the public ssh keys of hosts that you have said are ok.  This
has nothing to do with cygwin.  Any new host you ssh to will
induce the interchange you saw, and setting the known hosts
file to /dev/null will just make it ask every time.

It doesn't really know localhost from any other host in this
regard.

Hope this helps you understand what is happening and that it is
perfectly normal AFAIK.
