Thank you for reply:

1) Card was formatted using Windows utility and working correctly in it.
2) Card was working in 0.12.2 because we were adding _all_ keys, not 
only matched.
3) Card is working good in Windows with native drivers, so it is kind of 
"designed" behavior.

Now situation is very simple - there is a regression in the Fetian card 
support. I am completely agree that it does not look right (different 
length), but its the way it was working before. Unfortunately we cant 
compare situation with hard drives, because with smart-cards situation 
is very different. I cant now reformat this card (because i am storing 
private key in it) but i will ask seller to provide dump from the card 
formatted in the OpenSC.  May be we should add some kind of quirks to 
the driver definition? It would be great to have this fixed. Without 
this fix it is not possible to use card in Java apps or Firefox/Thunderbird.
