I just looked at your key.  Based on what the actual key says, GnuPG
is displaying it correctly.  I'm not sure why PGP is showing a subkey
expiration date for the whole key, but it could be a bug in PGP, or
perhaps the expiration date field in the PGP GUI is intended to be the
soonest expiration date of the key set.
