Yup; which does explain everything and apparently some libraries

Hi!
A closer inspection shows that the key is missing the 2 checksum bytes.
According to the specs (RFC-4880 or LibrePGP):
* If the string-to-key usage octet is zero or 255, then a two-octet
checksum of the plaintext of the algorithm-specific portion (sum
of all octets, mod 65536).
A string-to-key usage octet of zero means unencrypted key material.
