Check the verbose (default) listing on keyserver.kjsl.com and see that
a "[keybind, hash: type 2, 6e 50]" signature is present on both subkeys,
making it likely to be a duplicate (that is invalid when paired with
the wrong subkey).

pgpdump[.net] and gpg -v -v <keyring> will also display the stored top
two bytes of hashes over signed data areas as well as a whole lot more
information.  See RFC 2440 for details.
