It is a rather old bug, and it doesn’t seem likely that it’ll be fixed any time soon. Basically, if you have a fuse mounted sshfs home directory, you can’t use gnome-keyring.
Why would you want to do that? That sounds a whole lot of problems waiting to happen, besides being really slow.
sshfs and autofs are a simple way to set up network home directories without having to build any infrastructure other than an SSH server and some storage on a remote system. It uses FUSE, so it only supports a subset of the POSIX filesystem functions.
No one wants to support network filesystems anymore, I guess. BTW, AFS still works great for network home directories, and Fedora has an AFS client baked into the kernel. Works with gnome-keyring too. :) I've been trying to also get SMB3 to work well for $HOME, but its not there yet.
