My workaround, a bit clumsy, is to use "ssh -F configfileX ..." with a
different
configfileX for each host, and in that configfileX a reference to a
different known_hosts file for each host. I came across it when i wanted
to ssh to many different hosts from a single server via a ssh gateway
host, each getting its own local portnumber.
Extending the current use of known_hosts with a portnumber field in each
hostline might make this more elegant.
