One would have to modify SKS.  But the LDAP keyservers (at least
the older ones) have the same problem.

Right.  GPG doesn't import it, so it shouldn't be a problem.  However,
if you did create that subkey and can find it in a backup somewhere,
you should be able to revoke it or begin using it, and/or decrypt any
data previously encrypted to it.
