Comment (by jobst):

 I do not think it will be that tricky to "fix" this.
 Note that I have "FS_METHOD" and everything else set in wp-config.php, so
 below functions all use "class-wp-filesystem-ssh2.php"

 I can get the owner:
 {{{
 $rc = $wp_filesystem->owner( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/index.php');
 error_log("OWN >".$rc."<");
 // 2015-08-21 21:46:24 OWN >1234<
 }}}

 The user/owner of the connection is in the array:
 {{{
 error_log($wp_filesystem->options['username']);
 // SOMEUSER
 }}}

 I can get the mode of the file as well:
 {{{
 $rc = $wp_filesystem->getchmod( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/index.php');
 errorlog("CHMOD >".$rc."<");
 // 2015-08-21 21:46:24 CHMOD >644<
 }}}

 The only thing I cannot find YET is how to connect the username "SOMEUSER"
 to the "UID 1234", I know you could use "php_posix" but not everyone would
 have that installed.

 If saving the integer UID of the user opening the ssh2 connection into
 $wp_filesystem->options, you have a easy way to know that the file is
 WRITEABLE.
