(do no pay any attention to all those 'unknown'. I have not locally
signed your key in my public keyring)
Your key has a sign only subkey:
sub 1024D/B59D561A created: 2009-03-14 expires: 2014-03-13 usage: S
it is correctly used for signing, instead of the primary key:
pub 1024D/5024FAE3 created: 2006-02-25 expires: never usage: SC
This is normal behaviour once a key includes a sign only subkey whose
generation date is, naturally, posterior to the primary key's.
As for the mangling of the headers, you have got a very good point
there, and I have seen it already reported.
Take care,
Charly
