I think the first is perceived as more hostile not because
of any character vs behavior difference but simply because it
is broader -- the implication is that most anything done
by the person will be stupid rather than one specific action
for the second.

If one compares "you're stupid to have done that" (character)
vs "what you've done is stupid" (behavior), I am not sure 
there is much difference; at least I don't think I'd make 
much distinction.

IOW, I maintain that it is the "stupid" part that results 
in the major part of the recipient's negative reaction.

Of course since neither of us are psychologists this is all 
pretty speculative.

Agreed, 100%.
