Maybe 20 or 25 are no longer accessible by SSH right now. There's
another 70 or 80 that might have the issue on next config reload. I'm
trying to find honest-to-goodness official documentation on what
permissions are required and in what versions, if applicable.

Found this:
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2078

That's the OpenSSH bug tracker, where a committer modifies
ssh_config(5) like this:

==========================================
-read/write for the user, and not accessible by others.
+read/write for the user, and not writable by others.

committed and will be in openssh-6.3
==========================================
