It's a usability problem that it behaves differently the first time you connect to a host, particularly if you hop between client machines all the time and might or might not have connected from that particular client before. From that point of view it would be a benefit if it would just silently add new hosts without asking. (I don't understand why it has to ask, anyway.) I don't particularly believe in Expect but anything which gets rid of that obnoxious question would be an improvement.
