Please attempt to unlock ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain from Keychain Access

Can you do that? If not, what happens when you try?

I should have done this sooner, but I ran Keychain First Aid myself and got the same results. So it's a bug. As far as I can tell, it's a harmless one, because my keychains are working normally. So unless you have some other functional problem, I suggest you ignore it.

I wondered about that but I thank you because I think in the process we cleaned up some other things!
