Open question: should this be submitted to maemo bugzilla as a feature enhancement request?
Anyway, 64 characters... holy cow.

Some WPA-PSK user interfaces (such as the one in Windows XP) allows the 256-bit WPA pre-shared key to be directly provided as 64 hexadecimal characters.

You can see if it's a GUI bug by using gconftool-2 from a command line. Save the network with the 63 byte key and then edit the settings at the commandline. You can start by examining the current stuff.
gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/
It will take some playing, but you should be able to add the last digit to the key and then see if it will connect.

Hmm... looking at this...
I think there is a disconnect here. You are trying to directly enter the HEX key, the dialog box accepts a WPA-PSK passphrase... they are different. Even more reason to save the network and just replace the key using gconftool.

Looks like Nokia is doing it correctly. You will need either the actual passphrase or use gconftool-2 to manually enter the key as a int list.
A wireless network with WPA-PSK encryption requires a passphrase (the pre-shared key) to be entered to get access to the network. Most wireless drivers accept the passphrase as a string of at most 63 characters, and internally convert the passphrase to a 256-bit key. However, some software also allows the key to be entered directly in the form of 64 hexadecimal digits. It is therefore occasionally useful to be able to calculate the 64-digit hexadecimal key that correspons to a given passphrase.

It's not that you have to type them like a normal password, so I don't see the problem.
