When importing a secret key into a keyring without a public key, a public key is created from the secret key. Due to historic reasons the self-signature on the secret key is a different one than the one created with the public key. How when importing the public key a new signature will be added and gpg is not able to detects this. This won't harm because the signatures are effectively identically although not bit wise. It has been fixed in the CVS when creating new keys. How only one self-signature is created and used verbatim also for the secret key. This will go into 1.4.2.
