Your subkeys are all stored on a smartcard.  The primary key is online.
This is as intended.  If you remove the the primary private key
(<keygrip>.key)  You should see a '#' mark for the primary key.

That is intended to work but has not been thoroughly tested.

That reminds me that we have a function export_secret_ssh_key but it
will always fail with a not-implemented error ;-).  Noone of the core
hackers felt a need for it.  For example I have not used anything else
than gpg-agent based ssh access since 2005.
