So how many years later, finally got an answer to this odd behavior.
In short, the issue for "not found" does not really give you much to go on. Specially when you know the files exist (cuz your own code put it there in the test). The problem was/is the user account. Accounts can have their 'sharing' feature disabled due to whatever reasons, unfofrtunately the API just gets a NOT_FOUND type message, with no further information, the web hooks seem to have access to more info, maybe the api's do as well or maybe there's an additional info lookup on such things, but for now I'm saying this 'bug' is resolved.
