This seems to happen if you go to System > Preferences > About Me and change the password, but does not happen if it is changed under the user accounts dialog. It happened to me again today, on a NEW user account other than the one that originally experienced the issue. On the first attempt to change the password on this account it just hung and then the password was never changed. I was able to change it via user accounts OK but then when I rebooted I needed to enter in my OLD password into a gnome-keyring prompt.
I tried the instructions given at the Root Shell to reset the account's password and was not prompted for the current account password. When I tried the instructions (before you posted, found them online) I didn't use the same password I had previously which may have been why I couldn't decrypt my documents.
