Sorry bout that. That's not good behavior of gnome-keyring. I don't
think this is the case any longer under the development series 2.25.x
and the future GNOME 2.26.x.

In the future could you address requests or bug reports to the gnome
keyring mailing list:

gnome-keyring-list gnome org

Or filing a bugzilla bug would be a good approach too:
