I cannot reproduce with a newly-created user. One interesting tidbit (with my main user): Using gnome-keyring-manager, I looked at the default keyring. Two entries, including the WPA passphrase in question, were visible in the list without being prompted. The names of the other keys (VPN passwords) each required individual prompts just in order to view the name.
I removed the WPA passphrase entry. Then I reconnected to the wireless network. This time I was not prompted to open the keyring (either before or after entering the wpa passphrase.) After I entered the passphrase, the network connected, and I was not prompted to open the keyring to store the passphrase, but the passphrase showed up in keyring manager. Further reconnections did not prompt for the passphrase at all. Upon logging out and back in, nm-applet was back to previous (initially reported) behaviour. I opened gnome-keyring-manager (opening the default keyring) and reconnected. nm-applet no longer asked for access to the keyring, and connected automatically. I also did an experiment: Using gnome-keyring-manager, I removed 'read' access to the WPA passphrase for nm-applet. Then I reconnected to the wireless network. I was prompted to allow access to the passphrase. I selected "allow once" and nm-applet connected without prompting for the passphrase. Read access to the passphrase was also restored. I removed read access again, and reconnected, this time denying access to the passphrase. nm-applet prompted for the WPA passphrase, and then for some reason the read access to that passphrase was restored again (without prompting) Then I removed read and write access to the passphrase for nm-applet, and reconnected to the network. I was prompted to allow access to the passphrase, and selected "allow once". nm-applet connected, and I was prompted to allow access again, and again selected "allow once". read and write access were restored. I removed read/write again, and reconnected, this time denying access. I was prompted for the WPA passphrase, and then prompted to allow access to the key for nm-applet. I again denied it. This time, nm-applet created an extra key in the keyring containing the wpa passphrase.
