Bug#905787: locks gnupg card, making it impossible to use it (!)

I am experiencing the same issue with a YubiKey 4.
I have disabled pkcs11 and ssh support in gnome-keyring via the autostart
method to no avail.
I would be very interested in a workaround and/or fix for this behavior,
which denies access to my smart card in a seemingly unpredictable way
(probably depending on whether the gnome-keyring-daemon or the gpg-agent
starts first).
