It always gets called if set! It only ever not gets called if your libcurl was
built with an old libssh2 present that doesn't have the required knownhost
API...

(see lib/ssh.c line 661)

So, if you really don't get it called I think you should set a break-point in
the libcurl code and figure out how you manage to avoid it, and then tell us!
