Huh?  the host key format has IP or hostname as the first thing in the line,
and that's what ssh-keyscan gives as well.

If you want IP rather than name, you can use IP on the ssh-keyscan commandline
and it's stored that way.  Heck, if you want both, that works too:
  ssh-keyscan foop.dagon.net,127.0.0.1
