I had a similar issue - but I would never get any error message displayed, seahorse would just exit with no message, leaving behind a partial copy of the key missing a few bytes from the end at ~/.ssh/id_rsa (or ~/.ssh/id_rsa.1 if that already existed). If I ran from console I would see the same as described in this debian bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579275
