The password does not change, I have tried logging out then back in. I can still change my password using the command line 'passwd' but this does not change my private directory password or my gnome keyring password. Though not strictly a security bug, this could affect system security indirectly because it is password related.

The same thing (keyring password not automatically changed) if you change your password via gnome-about-me.
