It looks like my ssh is using ECDSA as the host key algorithm by default. When I force it to use ssh-rsa, then I receive the same fingerprint you have.
Should this be documented somewhere?
I believe RSA keys are generally recommended for SSH work. You could add it to the developer's guide. Another tip that may not be documented: to improve transfer speed, enable compression at the ssh level for the hg.python.org connection. If you are using a Unix-y .ssh/config file, you can add it there to the host entry for hg.python.org.
