Have you noticed CanonicalizeHostname and CanonicalDomains?

This block matches that ssh command otherwise could you explain why
I got all other options from it and this debug line:

% ssh -vvv foo klist |& grep re-re
debug1: Hostname has changed; re-reading configuration

* New upstream release (http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.5,
  LP: #1275068):
  - ssh(1): Add support for client-side hostname canonicalisation using a
    set of DNS suffixes and rules in ssh_config(5).  This allows
    unqualified names to be canonicalised to fully-qualified domain names
    to eliminate ambiguity when looking up keys in known_hosts or checking
    host certificate names (closes: #115286).
