Description

Upon login attempt (and only successful ones, failed ones return 'invalid login' as expected) I receive the following error, and am not logged in:

Unhandled incoming RPC 1XX
keybase.1.provisionUi.PromptNewDeviceName

appears in red text below the passphrase entry. (1XX being a redacted decimal number, not literal '1XX'.)

Additionally, due to the line break, some of the text overflows to another line beneath the "Log In" button. Thankfully, the button turns semitransparent when clicked, so I was able to read it by repeatedly attempting login.

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.17-20160822153555+692af12

Research direction

Start by reproducing the successful-login failure on the Windows client using the reported GUI version, then inspect handling of keybase.1.provisionUi.PromptNewDeviceName during login. Done means a successful login completes without the unhandled RPC error, and the resulting message no longer overflows beneath the Log In button.
