What exactly do you mean by "when I upgrade to attempt to use Xorg"? Do you
mean you have upgraded some packages, and then logged out from the Wayland
session, switched mode to "GNOME on Xorg" and logged and back in?

If yes, then I think the real workaround here may have simply been that
you logged out and back in. If you had done that, without upgrading
or reconfiguring anything, then the keyring would probably have worked
as intended in that second login.

Which specific unstable packages?

Again, if you logged out and back in, that would probably have been enough
to work around this, even if you had not upgraded any packages.
