That is due to the way gpg works.  It is unlikely that we will change it
in the stable branches because the development version has been changed
to drop the duplication of a lot of code in regard to working with the
secring and the pubring.  This will automagically fix your issue.

The workaround is to list the corresponding public key.  I know that
this is not very elegant but most key managers do it this way.
