Problem is, though, since Arch recently turned on HashKnownHosts by default

I think the whole point is that they *are* one way hashes. The only
think I can think of is to find the algorithm they use (sha1?) and
hash the hostnames that you know, then compare.

I didn't find out about this change until much later - and it pissed me off. For no apparent reason, we changed the default configuration of openssh at one point and now I have an obfuscated known_hosts file. I don't see any security impact in having the hosts unhashed.
