There was certainly no intentional breaking of backwards  
compatibility, and we did quite a bit of testing, but there were a lot  
of changes to the Keychain code and some cases may have slipped  
though. Once you have stored a duplicate password, does that fill  
correctly, or does nothing fill either way? Does Console show anything  
when you try to access a site where you have a stored password that  
doesn't fill (using 1.6.1, where we added extra logging of Keychain  
errors)?
