It certainly doesn't appear that SV was given this information so that she could block or report the person on whom the CheckUser was run. Instead, it appears that she was told so she could tip off the person.
Perhaps we should just have a policy where users against whom a checkuser is run have the right to be informed rather than have a situation where you only find out if your friends with someone who is the friend of a Checkuser who leaks info.
