Your HO doesn't trump facts. :)

pkcs15-tool is a tool that works with PKCS#15 data. If no public key
exists within PKCS#15 then pkcs15-tool must not display a public key.

(Again) I think the answer is to create a new, slightly higher-level
tool that does what you and users want, and hides some of the PKCS#15
details.
