I believe private blogs on wp.com are done via plugin, so maybe we should expose a new method or change the result of wp.getUsersBlogs

The 'Private blog' option is now exposed on the XML-RPC Endpoint. I've attached a patch that fixes this issue.

Will this work for .org blogs? If not, can we add a patch to core?

'Private blogs' is a WPCOM feature only.

Unfortunately the private status of a blog is not exposed in the options. The only way to previewing private blogs is to use the login form, but in that case every preview request will authenticate the user and redirect it to the post.
Not sure if we want implement this.
Unfortunately WordPress? responds with the '200' HTTP code status, even if the blog is marked as private, so a simple HEAD call doesn't help us.
