 Efficient score in independent-error regression

With unknown independent covariate and centered error distributions, take the regular mean-preserving error tangent space, let $h={\partial }_{\theta }{g}_{\theta }$, $\rho =-f^{\prime }/f$ and ${\tau }^2=E_f{\epsilon }^2>0$. Under $E_f\rho =0$, $E_f(\epsilon \rho )=1$ and finite second moments, orthogonal projection removes $(E_{v}h)(\rho -\epsilon /{\tau }^2)$ from $h\rho$. Thus the efficient score and efficient information are $\tilde{\ell }=(h-E_{v}h)\rho +(E_{v}h)\epsilon /{\tau }^2$ and $\tilde{I}={\mathrm{Var}}_v(h)E_f{\rho }^2+(E_{v}h{)}^2/{\tau }^2$. The reduction to $h\epsilon /{\tau }^2$ is valid for a normal distribution of errors or for constant $h$, but need not hold otherwise. Centered covariates and logistic distribution errors give the counterexample $\tilde{\ell }=X\tanh (\epsilon /2)$.
