FWIW I get into similar scenarios if I change my password in ways that the keychain doesn't know about, like using passwd from the command line or using sys prefs from one account to change the password in another account. Blowing away the keychain is the only solution I've found (which is painful if you have all that iphone/ipad provisioning stuff in there...). -Jon
