New bug filed per discovery in #30246

(auth-source-search :host "example.com" :user "bob" :secret "password"
:create t)

After calling the returned save function, I can confirm that the
secret is created:

$ secret-tool search --all --unlock host example.com user bob
[/org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login/484]
label = bob <at> example.com
secret = password
created = 2018-09-08 23:35:47
modified = 2018-09-08 23:35:47
schema = org.freedesktop.Secret.Generic
attribute.host = example.com
attribute.user = bob

However I cannot seem to retrieve it using auth-source:

(auth-source-search :host "example.com" :user "bob")
nil

Per Michael Albinus:
