No validity status with expired keys

[Kurt Fitzner]

The following command line:
  gpg --status-fd=2 --verify anyfile.sig

fails to output any trust information if the key used to create
anyfile.sig is an expired key.  Thus it is impossible to tell if the key
is considered trusted.  It is my understanding that it is considered a
valid use of an expired key to validate signatures created before the
key expired.  Should not then the trust model be applied to expired key?
