Just did a clean install of 10.13.1, and it appears to have been worked on, but although my different keychain password was perpetuated this time around, my keychain was again unpopulated.
Also, my auto-login pref somehow got changed, and I had to enter a password to log in.
Feedback sent to Apple.
