Ok, patch applied to my setup and it appears to work.

emacs -Q <RET>
M-x epa-list-keys <RET> --> keys listed
q
M-x epa-list-keys <RET> --> keys listed
repeated 2 more times> --> same outcome
repeated 2 more times using epa-list-secret-keys --> keys listed

Would it be possible to use 'q' to kill the keys-buffer rather than hide
it? That way, the buffer will not display an old duplicate listing.
