bug#32725: 26.1; auth-source does not return newly created entries

[Allen Li]

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@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

I tried this now with the authinfo backend, and the search does return
the credentials, so it seems like this has been fixed now in Emacs 27,
and I'm closing this bug report.  If this isn't the case, please reopen.
