This is why the Council is Afraid of Harry Dresden (Spoilers)
Mr. Death:
Knowing the other languages is unusual, but hardly enough to make you say, "Wait, does that mean he has a Fallen Angel from hell in his brain?"
I think the reason Lasciel's coin isn't mentioned is because there is no way the council wouldn't have taken serious action if they suspected it.
Ziggelly:
Only Ramirez knows about the Etruscan or the Ghoul, and he doesn't strike me as the type to go tattling on him. Well, I guess Meyers knows about the Ghoul, as well, but that could be shrugged away with a "he's got a lot of faery connections."

I was specifically thinking of the discrepancy between *not* knowing the common language of the White Council but suddenly showing a talent for not just one, but two languages spoken by groups hostile to it--at least one of which (Ghoul) that might be pretty dangerous to attempt to learn.
It might raise a few eyebrows among the Wardens-- and might lead to someone scrutinizing his file to try to determine how he learned it or what beings or groups he might have had contact with to teach him. I just think there might be more suspicion about how he managed to learn Ghoul and Etruscan....but not Latin. (Of course, since when has he done what the Council wanted? ::) )

Arguably, it's something that he could blame on Justin, if he were forced to give an answer on that front and were willing to lie about it ... or I suppose he could imply it (he's going to be spending time amongst the Sidhe, he ought to improve his word games by a significant amount). "As you may recall, my first master didn't teach me a thing about the White Council, but did teach me other things."
Alternatively, he'll just look down and snark at them. Be a bit tough to accuse him of being a traitor to the council for the Red Court (because there is no Black Council), after all.

Hey, he got Latin too, he learned it well enough to speak on his own at Morgan's trial in Turn Coat with no one laughing at him.
