Yes, I used quit, however, I did Save on exit... See below... Notice
that for key 'A734F56B', the public subkey has an expiration of
2008-02-19, however, after exiting and re-editing, the secret subkey has
an expiration of 'never' (see my original post for the complete
transcript where this subkey initially has an expiration of 2008-02-19):
