A few minutes later the "missing" keys appear when re-running seahorse.

So the problem may be that seahorse does not wait for the key-generation
to complete.  I'll mark this bug invalid, and may submit a new one about
that.  Sorry for the mis-direction!

Title:
  Newly created GnuPG keys sometimes disappear and/or are not displayed
  in seahorse GnuPG keys display

Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If a new GnuPG key is created,  the key sometimes does not actually
  get created, or sometimes seems to be created but does not appear in
  the "GnuPG keys" display until seahorse is restarted.

  I haven't been able to nail an exact sequence to force mis-behavior,
  but the following procedure reliably reproduces the problem after 1-3
  iterations:

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Run /usr/bin/seahorse
  2. Immediately do File->New...   PGP Key   (Continue) and enter the info to create a new key
  3. In the left panel, select "GnuPG keys"

  RESULTS (sometimes): The new key is not shown.

      If the key is _not_ displayed, exit seahorse and restart;
  sometimes the key appears then (other times it never appears,
  indicating  that the key wasn't actually created or was somehow lost).

  If the new key _does_ appear, then switch the view to "Gnome2 Key
  Storage", and repeat steps #2 and #3 above until the new key does not
  appear under "GnuPG keys" (not viewing GnuPG keys while creating a key
  seems to encourage the bug :-)

  EXPECTED RESULTS: Newly-created keys should always appear in the GnuPG
  keys display
