Comment(by tomeu):

 Mark, it's not completely clear to me if you tried to configure the
 connection in the command line or only by using Sugar. Can you please
 confirm?

 By glancing at the Sugar code, I cannot see a reason why a key of length
 >10 would stop working.

 For reference, I think this is the only code involved in that:

 {{{
 # passphrase
 import commands
 (s, o) = commands.getstatusoutput("/usr/sbin/wpa_passphrase '%s' '%s'" %
 (ssid, key))
 if s != 0:
     raise RuntimeError("Error hashing passphrase: %s" % o)
 lines = o.split("\n")
 for line in lines:
     if line.strip().startswith("psk="):
         real_key = line.strip()[4:]
 if real_key and len(real_key) != 64:
     real_key = None
 }}}
