I can reproduce it, yes.  It happens every day.

The steps I take:  select a WPA-protected wireless network from nm-applet.  it 
will, in order:
1. bring up the gnome-keyring password dialog.  Here I hit "deny"
2. prompt for the network information.  Here I enter the WPA key.  At this 
point the applet sits for awhile while the network connection is negotiated.
3. bring up the gnome-keyring password dialog.  Again, I hit "deny".  At this 
point the applet switches from the negotiation animation to the wireless status 
bars.  Previously it didn't always ask for the password a second time, but as 
far as I can tell it now does so consistently.

I would prefer that it never asked for the keyring password at all, as I
don't store the WPA key there.  It especially should also not ask a
second time, unless there's an option in the dialog from step 2 to store
the passphrase in the keyring.  (that is, assuming that it's prompting
in order to store the key -- I have no way of telling why it's trying to
open the keyring; for all I can tell it's trying to open it in order to
send all my passwords to a random email address)
