Corrupt keys

Recently, I discovered the following message on GPG startup:

gpg: signature packet without timestamp

This prevented a few programs which rely on GPG from working entirely.
Fortunately, GPGshell is not so fussy, and I keep a log of when I have
imported keys, so I was able to track down and remove the keys that gave
this message when I checked the signatures on them (4 in total).
Deleting these keys from my keyring solved the problem.

Is it possible to remove packets from a key that do not show up as
signatures, or are these keys (I can send you a list of the keyids on
request) permanantly corrupted?
