Is the issue that you somehow believe "stored with" is not a commutative relationship?
Edited to add:
"It doesn't matter whether there's something stored with the private key, both because that location should be secure and because the private key can used to recover the public key."
Right, it doesn't matter in what should be the overwhelming majority of cases where "the public and private key are stored in the same directory" so it's a piss-poor test for whether things are obviously being done horribly wrong.
It doesn't matter whether there's something stored with the private key, both because that location should be secure and because the private key can used to recover the public key.
