I don't know of a way to do this automatically if there is already a
certification from the current issuer over the OpenPGP User ID in
question, unless the old certification is local (non-exportable), and
the new one is not.  in that special case, gpg seems fine with issuing
the new certification (and will respect --cert-notation or
--set-notation when doing so).

I've opened https://dev.gnupg.org/T4584 to track this bug.  Please
follow up over there.
