I suspect to reproduce, you just need to enable autologin and then have a saved wifi connection that needs a password. Since your gnome keyring is still locked (isn't auto-unlocked when you autologin), NM needs to ask you to unlock it. (haven't tested myself to reproduce, just have seen this sort of thing before)
