Description
I tried to log in to OS X Keybase client (Version 1.0.22-20170502110012+a3c4856).
I got logged in with username and copy-pasted passphrase
When I try to copy-paste the same passphrase to 'Export your secret key from GPG,' it fails.
Note: my passphrase is 300+ characters long, so maybe that's the problem.

Research direction
Start with the OS X Keybase client’s “Export your secret key from GPG” flow and log ID 66b6522d6df9ce70cac4731c; reproduce the failure with a 300+ character passphrase and compare it with a shorter one. Done means determining whether passphrase length causes the failure and documenting a verified result.
