RSA keys (1.2.3)

Hash: SHA1

i'm trying to add an RSA sub key using:
	gpg --edit-key
and:
	gpg --edit-key --expert

i get to a menu like this (in expert mode):
- -----------------------------------------
Command> addkey
Key is protected.

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Atom Smasher <atom at suspicious.org>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 3D7D41E3, created 2003-10-04

Please select what kind of key you want:
   (2) DSA (sign only)
   (3) ElGamal (encrypt only)
   (4) ElGamal (sign and encrypt)
   (5) RSA (sign only)
   (6) RSA (encrypt only)
   (7) RSA (sign and encrypt)
Your selection?
- -----------------------------------------

and it makes no difference which one of the 3 RSA keys i select, it only
generates:
	Pub alg - RSA Encrypt or Sign(pub 1)

according to RFC2440 i should be getting my choice of:
       1          - RSA (Encrypt or Sign)
       2          - RSA Encrypt-Only
       3          - RSA Sign-Only

but i'm only getting type 1 RSA keys.

i even tried --gen-key for a brand-new sign-only RSA key, and got the same
thing.

any suggestions?
can anyone else duplicate this?
am i doing something stupid?
