No.  The same binding signature is on one subkey twice (seen here on
keyserver.kjsl.com):

pub  4096R/FC7A4EF0 2003-06-25 Johan Parin <johan.parin@abc.se>

     Key fingerprint =3D 6BE8 8BAC 9B0C FE19 E6F7  745D EA56 7C95 287E 0AFC
sig  0x18  FC7A4EF0 2003-06-25 [keybind, hash: type 2, 06 e0]
sig  0x18  FC7A4EF0 2003-06-25 [keybind, hash: type 2, 5f 00]

but both subkeys are importable (from the surfnet LDAP server
and now keyserver.kjsl.com, anyway).
