Can you reproduce this with a current version?  Works for me:

$ scp -o stricthostkeychecking=yes /tmp/a localhost:/tmp/b
No RSA host key is known for doesnotexist and you have requested strict

Host key verification failed.

$ scp -o stricthostkeychecking=no /tmp/a localhost:/tmp/b
Warning: Permanently added 'doesnotexist' (RSA) to the list of known
hosts.

usually comes from bad judgement.
