I can confirm that at least on mine the passwords are definitely plain text (also includes some private keys) but the Apple script doesn't work for me so there doesn't seem to be a way to suppress the Allow/Deny box.

I am a little surprised it doesn't ask foe the keychain password.

I believe you've surfaced the real issue – there's no confirmation prompt that requires the keychain password.
