I can confirm this problem, as mentioned in detail by Jimbo (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/321287/comments/11)

System:
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.9
2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Jun 30 19:57:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

* The error occurs only if you click the button "_Create" (with the mouse). If you press Alt+C or focus this button and press Enter, the key will be generated as normal (with expiration date 1970-01-01).

* Only the command line message
------------
** (seahorse:26768): CRITICAL **: egg_datetime_get_as_time_t: assertion `EGG_IS_DATETIME (edt)' failed
** Message: could not grab keyboard
------------
seems to be interesting, because the other ones appears even if you don't uncheck "Never Expires".

* There's no date-time-field left to the "Never expires"-button as seen here: http://media.ubuntuusers.de/wiki/attachments/34/28/seahorse-new-pgp-key.png

* Surprisingly, after appearence of the error message "<big><b>Couldn't generate PGP key</b></big>", the sorting order first PGP-key, second SSH, has changed in SSH, PGP (at "Generate a new key"-window).

**************************************************
* Another bug maybe connected with this one:
at key properties-window > details: changing the expiration date at a date less or equal the current date will result in the message:
-----------------
<big><b>Couldn't change expiry date</b></big>

General error
