Is it possible to create additional signatures for subkeys?

The question by someone else how to adapt the expiration date gave me the idea 
how to create a new signature for a subkey. This can indeed be done by --edit-
key expire, it is not even necessary to strip off the revocation signature in 
advance. But in contrast to UIDs gpg does not use the newest signature. 
Despite of the newer self-signature the subkey is still treated as invalid.

Just for info in case someone is interested. I don't know whether this is a 
bug or a feature, though. As long as the mainkey is not revoked this behaviour 
does not make sense to me.
