Bad permissions are logged on the server. E.g.

Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for file
/home/djm/.ssh/authorized_keys

We cannot relay this information to the client because it is, by
definition, not authenticated at the time it is attempting public key
authentication and is therefore untrustworthy. It would be
inappropriate to divulge the existence of an authorized_keys file, let
alone that it has unsafe permissions.
