I ended up doing a lot more work on this, which I then reported as Ubuntu bug #1519098, with an upstream Gnome bug report at: 
Gnome bug #758581  that you looked at earlier today.  This bug can be closed now I have located the cause.  I had tried to report this bug to the Evolution project team, not having used the Gnome bug reporting system until today.  This bug needs closing.

Title:
  Online address book can't be set up due to keyring request

Status in evolution package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use Evolution only for the address-book.  I use it to sync my Google
  address book which has extensive information from my Android phone.
  There was no problem on 15.04, or on 15.10 up until the beta of early
  September.  My desktop PC and my laptop both operate the Evolution
  addressbook online just fine.  Both are up to date.

  A new installation on this computer as at the release date for Wily
  shows the problem.  I have set the online account to allow Evolution
  to access online data.  When I try to set Evolution up exactly as on
  the two previous installations, I cannot do so without allowing it to
  add the passwords to my personal keyring.  If I uncheck the 'add
  password to keyring' box, Evolution cannot be set up with any account
  data.

  I have spent a number of hours trying to find a workaround, bu so far
  with no success.  I assume this is an Evolution problem, but obviously
  Seahorse is invoked.
