The affected item is, I believe, ~/.password-store/local-gmail:imap.gpg
and likely also ~/.password-store/smtp.gmail.com:465.gpg.  When I set
auth-source-debug to t, these lines appeared in *Messages*

No problem, and thanks for understanding.  I think it is indeed better
if you make this opt-in. I can then opt into it and help you debug the
root cause.  But in the meantime, my email won't be broken :-)
