GnuPG treats only the most recent signature from a certificate as being the definitive one. For instance, a revoked certificate will have a self signature and a revocation signature: the revsig is newer, so it governs. The human-friendly interface suppresses a lot of data that isn't relevant (such as, e.g., signatures that aren't being considered). The --with-colons interface is meant for machines to process and reveals a lot more data. This doesn't account for everything you're seeing (I don't think), but it does account for a lot.
