NetworkManager-vpnc gnome-keyring problem after F9 update

Today I did a pile of F9 updates for the first time since September
13th. The update log is attached.
After rebooting I found that NetworkManager caused gnome-keyring to
pop-up those "Always Allow" dialogs for all keys that it wanted to
access. I had to click "Always Allow" on every key again. It
successfully connected to WPA, but failed immediately to connect using
NetworkManager-vpnc.
/var/log/messages contains the following as I attempted to connect with
vpnc a few times in a row.

read /proc/4855/environ: Error reading file '/proc/4855/environ': No
such process
Then I ran gnome-keyring-manager and this weird message showed up.
Sep 29 22:25:08 newcaprica gnome-keyring-daemon[4626]: couldn't allocate
secure memory to keep passwords and or keys from being written to the disk
I eventually figured out that if I deleted the password key from
gnome-keyring-manager, then NetworkManager-vpnc's next attempt asked me
for a new password. Upon typing the new password it succeeded and is
working now.
I am posting this here because I do not have time to attempt to
reproduce the problem and write a useful detailed bug report. I hope
others who see similar bad behavior can share their experiences and
someone else can write a detailed report from this.
