I did the survey. (Comments on specific aspects appear as replies.)

My public key is the same as my user name. Should it have been anonymous? (My private key was randomized and only identifies me if you know what format I use for general-purpose random strings.)

Assuming Yvain does the same thing as last year, both the public and private key will be released as part of the survey dataset if you checked the 'release my survey data' box.

Faith in Humanity moment: LW will not submit garbage poll responses using other LW-users as public keys.

If that's true I wish I'd known it before choosing keys.

The private key too!? Fortunately I used a one-time key for that.

The public key is OK. I made sure that I was comfortable with people linking my answers to me before I used it. But then I thought that maybe I wasn't supposed to.
