Thanks.

What did you exactly mean by "everything"?

 - On a protected key/cert, with configuration, it asks the question once.

 - On an unprotected key/cert, without configuration, it never asks the
   question.

 - On an unprotected key/cert, with configuration, it asks an useless
   question but it does so only once.

You tested all of the above?  I am not demanding you to test all of these,
but we need to make sure at least somebody did.  Especially because it
would be a regression if the second one does not.
