Cisco Ironport devices do MITM for SSL and SSH. Clearly someone wrote  
enough of the code that this is feasible. It doesn't steal your passwords  
though, just sniffs your unencrypted session traffic to "protect company  
IP from being leaked". And yes, you'll get an error that the host key has  
changed but it wouldn't be hard to put in the destination key if you had  
it.
