Yeah, so it looks like golden keys don't disappear anymore.

I had just used it to open the gate on the left.
It happened again later.

While the keys not vanishing makes some amount of sense (unless the gates retracted before our valiant knights could remove them from the keyhole?), it does seem like an interesting gameplay bug.
While it could be left in, especially for silly accomplishment value (in line with that accomplishments thread idea), I've seen floors where multiple gates and keys were present, which this bug could radically ruin the potential of. It's too bad, since otherwise this bug is just so... so harmless.
It will be fixed with the next release.
We had the same problem with keys. It was kind of amusing. We carried one or two all the way to the elevator, just for fun.
