The autolaunched bus will terminate after the cron job ends.  Look at
the process list while your job is running (insert a sleep) and you'll
likely see two bus instances and two keyring daemons.

I'm just educated-guessing, I haven't checked though.

My thought was that this program would launch a bus if none was
running.  And ideally, that same bus would be picked up by the desktop
if you later logged in.

Yes, I'm not sure what changed honestly.  It might actually be that
gnome-keyring gained a dbus dependency that it didn't have before.
