I take it this is because multiple revocation certs are not
supported. Is this the case? Or, is this based on an assumption that
after a key is retired, it could be compromised and the legitimate
owner wouldn't notice?

In either case, this might be an issue to take up on the IETF-OpenPGP
mailing list. If there are significant flaws with handling
revocations the way the RFC lists, then it should be updated.
