Under Debian 6 (confirmed on the latest version 6.0.5) when you connect via SSH with the wrong key, the daemon logs the following message:
Authentication tried for root with correct key but not from a permitted host (host=AAAA, ip=XXXX).
The message is wrong since the key is not valid.
The bug appeared on Fedora and was corrected since: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=66697
