Upstream has reopened the bug. I suspect eventually we'll end up with the ability to enter a null password for the keyring.
As for the gnome-screensaver problem... yes I agree. Gnome screen saver needs to properly use PAM to generate it's password prompts (or lack of password prompts). If it is not doing so, a bug should be filed against it or the related PAM module. Do you mind opening or pinpointing such a bug?
