Not the behavior, the error message:

| gpg: secret key C06EC3B5 not imported (use --allow-secret-key-import
|   to allow for it)

IMHO, this suggests to use --allow-secret-key-import *instead* of
--import.

What about 'invoke with --allow-secret-key to import it'?  (The
omission of '-import' is intentional.)

I agree.
