specific Host not overriding global Host

My config file contains

Host *
VisualHostKey yes
Host app
VisualHostKey no

however when I ssh into app I still see the VisualHostKey.

It is my understanding that the more specific host should override the
global defaults. When I asked on IRC they told me to report the issue
to this mailing list.

I know my version of OpenSSH is old, but I checked bugzilla and did
not see any bug reports about this.
