    See #782: @piratelinux is right in saying that not everything is checked, as GetPubKey() returns the public key embedded in the PrivKey structure, and does not force recalculation.

    CKey::IsValid() performs this check now.

    Does this remove the ability to intentionally remove/corrupt your private keys and run with read-only access?

    Yes…

    You can always encrypt it and throw away the passphrase, though.
