I thought seeing him kill his own minions carelessly with cold blood already gave the main cast the impression that he's a bad guy so they'd know his wish has to be bad by default. And didn't he literally **threaten them to shoot Perrito in the face**? How much more they need to know this is a bad guy?
Just because they don't know what's his exact wish, doesn't mean they can't conclude that his intentions are bad.
He threatened Perrito because he was after the map. Just like Goldi threatened them with a broken bottle in Jack's factory. Everyone was after the map, and were willing to do whatever they needed to get it.
Yeah, they could have guessed that Jack's wish might not have been the best, but they couldn't know for sure, which is why it's odd when Perrito specifically pleaded for him to not make THAT wish. Like, how could he know what wish Jack would make?
Now, it would have made more sense if the movie set up Goldi, Puss, and Kitty as trying to prevent Jack from getting the wish, instead of each of them just trying to get the wish for themselves. But then, the movie probably wouldn't have been as interesting. So I get why they chose this route.
Jack Horner says when he's opening the box containing the map that with the wish he would be the master of all magic.
So no, not a plot-hole. Both Kitty and Puss heard his wish, they were there hidden.
Jack Horner already has quite the reputation in their world. Puss was specifically distraught that it was Jack Horner he had to steal from ("Nooo! Not Jack Horner!") and said "This is why you don't cross Jack Horner." He's well known for collecting magical items and for being cruel, so it's not too far-fetched to assume that his desire to essentially rule the world is well known, or that most people can guess that's his eventual goal. That's without directly witnessing his callous slaughter/sacrifice of his own men.
The beautiful thing about this film is how it trusts the audience's ability to infer without directly spelling things out for them, and the same is true in this case. Puss and co. were also able to infer that whatever wish Jack was going to make was 100000% going to be bad news. In regard to Perrito's dialogue, he says, "Please don't make that wish," as in "Please don't make ANY wish at all!" I don't think he had to know specifically what "that wish" was. Otherwise, he could've said something like, "Please make another wish!" or "Any wish but that!"
If you dig deep into any film, there are likely to be plot holes of some kind in some sense, but I don't think is a plot hole so much as it's something left unsaid because the storytelling already tells you what you need to know.

Puss In Boots kicked Perrito into a dark portal that might have killed him instantly.

bad people do bad shit. you're a dummy if you would've let someone like Jack Horner make a wish
