  Mercurial Keyring Fails Authentication

Bug description:
  I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 from 14.04, and while pretty much
  everything works as expected, I can no longer push to my remote
  Mercurial repository. Here is the error:

     ~/drafts $ hg push
    pushing to https://hg.csswg.org/drafts/
    searching for changes
    ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.173:/modules/kwalletd: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying
    http authorization required
    realm: css-drafts
    user: fantasai (fixed in .hg/hgrc)
    Password:

  In the past, there wouldn't be a password prompt here, there would be
  a keyring window asking me for my local password, and then it would
  just work for the rest of my X session. At the moment, none of the
  passwords I can think of as being remotely relevant seem to work, and
  the entire thing crashes after I press enter.

  Fwiw, I did try installing kwalletd (since it was mentioned in the
  error), but that didn't help. Running it on the commend line gave the
  following error:

    QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
    QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
    kwalletd(24651): Communication problem with "kwalletd" , it probably crashed.
    Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying"

  Fwiw, the Python keyring configuration file
    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring#config-file-path
  appears not to exist:

    $ python -c "import keyring.util.platform_; print(keyring.util.platform_.config_root())"
    /home/fantasai/.local/share/python_keyring
    $ ls /home/fantasai/.local/share/python_keyring
    ls: cannot access '/home/fantasai/.local/share/python_keyring': No such file or directory

  Don't really know where to go from here. I tried asking in the support
  channels, but they asked me to file a bug instead...
