A bearer token that goes to the wrong site can be used -- to access the 
protected resource on the right site -- so this is a total security failure, 
not a nice hint.

If the wrong site uses HTTP then the token is also exposed on the network -- so 
it has just been broadcast in the clear if you are using public wifi. Again a 
security failure.
