Right.

You may delete the stub key in private-keys-v1.d which is where
gpg-agent remembers that it has seen the key.  We don't do this
automatically because the key may also be used by other protocols (ssh
or gpgsm).

That the ownertrust is remembered may be called a feature.  IT has
always been the case and I guess it is best to leave that behavior as
is.
