Hi,

I've talked about this with upstream with this conclusions:

1) it's not a bug, it's a feature. Even gnome-keyring doesn't clear out a key after an application uses it

2) If you want to clear your keyring, use `keyctl clear @u`

3) the password at mount time is not a password to read existing files. It is a password that is turned into a key which is used when creating new files

4) there will be added new mount option that will automatically clear keyring after umount (so mount with wrong passphrase will not work any more)
