I respect agl a lot, but this really doesn’t make sense to me. Should I be able to rely on the RSA keygen being deterministic between versions, given a fixed random Reader? No. But should I be able to rely on it being deterministic between runs with the same version? IMHO, yes. This changes the signature of key generation from (Reader) to (Reader, internal random).
