problem with exporting subkeys

[Janusz A. Urbanowicz]

Today I tried to export a secret subkey from one GPG installation to another
(both run Debian Potato):

Subshell:alex at FUCKUP:[~]:7:0:> gpg -a --export-secret-subkeys > subk

the 'subk' file bot transferred to another machine, then I ran:

Subshell:alex at syjon:[~]:100:> gpg subk
gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
gpg: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be
gpg: used in a production environment or with production keys!
gpg: Ostrzeżenie: używana pamięć nie jest pamięcią bezpieczną!

[nothing?]

Subshell:alex at syjon:[~]:101:> pgpv subk
Opening file "Temporary PGP Keyfile" type binary.
Copying key file to "/tmp/ptmpUWCevZ", running pgpk to process it...

pgpk -a /tmp/ptmpUWCevZ

2 matching keys found

First question: why ALL my secret keys in the packet? I supposed only
subkeys would go there.

Second question: why GPG chokes on it?

Subshell:alex at syjon:[~]:106:> gpg --import subk
gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
gpg: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be
gpg: used in a production environment or with production keys!
gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
gpg: read_block: read error: invalid packet
gpg: import from `subk' failed: invalid keyring
gpg: Total number processed: 0
