I've set up a keychain as follows:
sudo /usr/bin/security create-keychain -p 'temporaryPassword' MyKeychain.keychain
The keychain is present and working as shown by:
/usr/bin/security show-keychain-info MyKeychain.keychain
Keychain "MyKeychain.keychain" lock-on-sleep timeout=300s
The permissions in ~/Library/Keychains are all consistent.
Why does Keychain Access.app not show MyKeychain in its Keychains panel?

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Apple ID. Click iCloud in the sidebar, then select Keychain. If you're using macOS Mojave or earlier, click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain.
In the Keychain Access app on your Mac, if you don't see a list of keychains, choose Window > Keychain Viewer or press Command-1. Select the keychain that you want to view. To see more information about an item, either double-click it or select it and click the Info button in the toolbar.
Open System Preferences, click the icon for Apple ID, and click the checkbox for Keychain. Then when you browse to a password-protected website, iCloud Keychain will ask if you want to save the password. Click Save Password and it'll be securely stored in your Keychain.
Because MyKeychain is not in the keychain search list.
Even though the man page for security says that create-keychain adds the created keychain to the search list, it does not actually do that in 10.9.0. This seems like a bug to me, as it works as described in the man page in 10.8.5. Try this:
security create-keychain -p 'temporaryPassword' MyKeychain.keychain
security list-keychains
If you don't see MyKeychain.keychain in the resulting list, you need to add it. For example, let's say you got this list back from security list-keychains:
/Users/fred/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
You can add MyKeychain to that list with this command:
security list-keychains -d user -s login.keychain MyKeychain.keychain
The instant you do that, you'll see MyKeychain show up in the "Keychains" list in Keychain Access..
