We have similar thing in gpg for many years.  Only the fingerprint
unambiguously indentifies a key and thus we use this hack to also export
those hidden certificates.  That feature has been implemented on request
from the KMail/Kleopatra folks.

It is not documented because it is indeed obscure ;-).
