Do you mean with or without keys in the keypool?
Can you be more specific what happens when you try?

I mean with keys in the keypool. When I try the GUI requests I unlock the wallet

Ok, I understand now.
It works after entering the passphrase?

When the wallet is locked, it should be perfectly possible to retrieve a new key from the key pool (unless it's empty).

we must also remember to refill the keypool on unlock

That already happens automatically, afaik.
