Wow... a program written in the 21st century that do not handle UTF-8.
Shouldn't we fire the one that built the architecture of that!

I share your analysis
- about the fact that gnome-keyring should still do proper things when handled 
a filename it does not support.
- and indeed I wonder why the filename was localized. It doesn't help either 
when you read documentation to try to understand things, as most of the 
documentation is written in English, and would probably mention this file as 
"default.keyring" which you wouldn't find on a systems with French, Greek, 
Russian, etc...


About this bug, something has to be done as currently, without the
workaround you suggested, Ubuntu One is broken in most non-english
Ubuntus. Network Manager, although not broken, is annoying and keeps
asking you for the password of you Wifi as it cannot retrieve the
previous keyring file (yet to be fully confirm as I don't have Wifi
myself, and it's illegal to crack you neighbour Wifi, even for the sake
of a test!)

Considering that gnome-keyring is unaware of UTF-8, isn't the simpler
thing reverting to the English name for that file: default.keyring


And about gnome-keyring, should I open a "bug" or "suggestion", to urge them 
consider UTF-8?
