No, that's by design. gnome-power-manager tells gnome-keyring to "lock"
on suspend for security. See gnome bug #375681.
Taken holistically, it's a very broken design. The WEP key it's asking
for is a system-wide thing; in fact it's even stored in the standard
network configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/keys-eth1 -- yet
although NetworkManager obeys _some_ of the standard network
configuration, it ignores the key, and insists on asking mere _users_
about it. And then demands a password before using it. Repeatedly.
That's just crap.
