I opened a bug about this a couple of days ago: FS#27612.

You're right, it seems to be to do with the use of a subkey.

Heh heh. This basically explains the reason quite well:

http://wiki.debian.org/subkeys

I have my master key stored offline, and I hope it will last forever without 
being compromised and I won't have to go around getting my key signed again. 
Also, the subkeys are only stored on a smart-card and, so I'm told, can't be 
taken off it. (I know, call me paranoid...)

Did this:

% pacman-key -r 22AD5874F39D989F

not work for you? I was discussing this problem with Seblu earlier and we 
could both just do this, only it wouldn't be imported automatically by pacman.

Pete.
