Wallet backups should include "compromised" keys

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My wallet includes a key generated by the buggy SecureRandom implementation, 
and that address is now marked as "might be compromised".  It appears the 
corresponding private key is not included in wallet backups.  In my opinion, it 
should be, since it's possible that someone will send coins to that address in 
the future.  If my device has crashed in the meantime, I won't have the private 
key in my backup, and will be unable to get those coins.

This is Bitcoin 3.21.

For those cases, you should keep your old backups around just in case. Also, 
tell your friends to not re-use addresses without asking you first.

Problem with including compromised keys in backups is that they'll get mixed 
with good keys if you restore, without knowing you're using compromised keys 
again.
