Also missed this one, oops, hopefully you've figured out a solution for what you're trying to do. I don't think there was a reason to exclude returning the key in generation.
I have a vague recollection that there might have been some weird behavior in what the keyring was returning for public keys and it just bubbled up this way by not returning the key. It would be great if you have found a solution to submit it as a pull request. If you haven't you should also take a look at the devel branch https://github.com/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/tree/devel which has a slightly different front-facing API for things like this.
