Thank you for your confirmation.  Now, I can reproduce it by a Python
script.  And then, I created this entry:

    https://dev.gnupg.org/T4348

Because gpg-agent should be robust even with such an erroneous data.
This is fixed in master branch of GnuPG.

I think that it is good for this bug report to be one of GnuPG, because
people will encounter same trouble.

I'm adding a tag of fixed-upstream.

If we will be able to have a reproducible scenario for
gnome-keyring-daemon with an erroneous entry, that will be qualified as
a bug report for gnome-keyring-daemon, though.
