I believe you just discovered a bug in 1.0.6.  As best as I can tell,
you generated the key with 1.0.7 or 1.2.0, used it in 1.0.6, and then
used it in 1.0.7 or 1.2.0.  There is a bug in 1.0.6 that damaged the
key.  Unfortunately, I'm afraid the key is now corrupted and is not
recoverable.  Do you have a backup?  If so, import it into 1.0.7 or
1.2.0 and you should be okay.
