The OpenPGP packets were not ordered properly, and gpg tried to clean
that up. (Typically the signatures were placed under a subkey or the
wrong UID, then reordered to be placed under the proper component;
duplicate sigs currently arise when the key is refreshed.) See issue
2236 for details and background: https://dev.gnupg.org/T2236
Cheers,
