OK... not sure if this will help your situation or not but it did fix the problem on my end. Go to the applications folder and RIGHT click on Safari. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu. Under the "Sharing and Permissions" item look for your user name. In my case it was not there only system, admin, and everyone. Really not important that your user name is there but it helps to fix the problem as you will see... click the plus sign and then add your user name to the list with read & write permissions, then click the red button at the top of the window.
Now go to Keychain Access and open it, select the menu item "Keychain Access" and scroll down to "Keychain First Aid". In the window that comes up select repair instead of verify and enter your password. It should come back with everything repaired. Close the program.
Next, open Disk Utility, select your system volume and repair permissions. When it finishes you will probably notice an item in the repair log that states "ACL found but not expected on Applications/Safari.app". Close the program.
Open Safari. You should not receive a login to keychain now. Everything should finally be back to normal.
Hope this helps!
