I can reproduce this in 3.4.0-1, the latest version in Testing as of 
writing. Last dist-upgrade was yesterday, I think.

Yes, I use gnome-fallback/classic. gnome-keyring-daemon is running:
$ ps ax | grep gnome-keyring
  2408 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize 
--login
20096 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto gnome-keyring

I've investigated this further and these are my conclusions:
1. When connecting directly without using a bookmark, passwords are 
never remembered, not even during the current session no matter if the 
checkbox is checked or not.
2. When connecting via a bookmark, passwords are always remembered while 
vinagre is running no matter if the checkbox is checked or not.
3. When connecting directly after (2), vinagre always asks for password.
4. Passwords are never stored to file.

These were made by connecting to localhost::5901 which was forwarded to 
a remote computer using:
$ ssh -v -L 5901:localhost:5900 remote-domain-name
