Order/changing of subkeys derogates compatibility!?

You are testing a modern tool that aims to be standards-compliant
against an unmaintained, known-broken program that was out of date
before the standards were even settled.  When you found an
incompatibility, you reported the problem against the modern,
standards-compliant tool.

That approach seems unlikely to get any fruitful results.

I don't know the best place to get copies of older, out-of-date versions
of this piece of proprietary software.

GnuPG-users is probably not the best place to find this information.
Have you tried speaking to anyone at Symantec about this?
