Alright, I don't think this is NM, I think this is gnome-keyring.

I'm assuming you've set up a new WPA connection and after entering the
passphrase, you've been prompted for the gnome-keyring password to store
the passphrase.

Since you can't enter the password for the keyring, you'll be prompted
for the WPA passphrase again next time you connect.

I'm having the same problem in evolution.  I've set up a IMAP account
for my gmail account and I have to retype the password each time I
restart evolution, because I can't store the imap password in the
keyring since gnome-keyring won't accept my keyring password.  I can
unlock items in the keyring using the keyring password (like my NM WPA
information) but not store anything.
