What I should have asked at the beginning is:

Is there a user-visible symptom that you are reporting, like some 
program crashing or taking a long time to start, that is in some way 
related to the warning you have quoted?

Or can your bug report be summarized as "there is a warning in the 
system log, and I don't think there should be any warnings at all"?

This is the special mini-session that is used for the gdm "greeter" 
(login prompt), not part of a user's login session. It is normal that 
this mini-session has limited functionality, and I would not expect 
either gnome-keyring or xdg-desktop-portal to be usefully active in that 
session.

(Perhaps that session should prevent these services from running at all.)
