I just tried the test.kdb.kdb file with passphrase 12345 and it failed.
In this case I used a launcher on the taskbar and then browsed to the key file and entered the passphrase.

But then I tried it another way and it worked. To have it work, double click on the key file and enter the passphrase in the dialog.

So. To have keepassx fail, launch keepassx with a launcher on the taskbar. If you do this, and then enter a passphrase and browse to a file, you always get HASH FAILURE.

If instead, you click on a file created in the above method, you get a dialog with a disabled keyfile browse line, and no indication which file you are opening, but if you enter the correct passphase the file opens correctly.

I have tried my file above and several other files and they all worked correctly as well.

So, the bug is apparently a problem with the correct processing of the passphrase in several cases when launching keepassx.
