Personally I think this is reasonable, provided that requests for decryption keys are handled with the same level of respect for law & privacy afforded to physical keys. There is a thornier issue though: stenanography + encryption. What if the encrypted data aren't visible in the first place? Or, what if the data aren't provably encrypted data? I can imagine a case where someone languishes in jail for contempt of court, after being ordered to produce something that doesn't actually exist.
