Interesting...sounds like a DNS/hosts issue - the ~/.ssh/known_hosts
file should contain the same ip of the host[name] you're alternately
specifying, right?

I thought that the MITM attack notification came up if there was a
discrepancy between the server's host key (which should stay the same
in this case, right?) and the contents of ~/.ssh/known_hosts file....?
