Excellent.  Thanks for checking.

Yes, I noticed that.  That in itself gives me more confidence there
won't be problems with multiple sig classes.  If there was a PGP
version out there that didn't accept multiple sig classes, it would
have broken with GnuPG-generated keys and we'd have heard about it by
now.
