I can reproduce the problem but it doesn't make any sense to me. Why are UIDs 
stored in the secring...?

But it is possible to sync pubring and secring (i.e. the answer to the OP's 
question is yes, not no; whether it's fun...):

mkdir split-pub split-sec
cp public.gpg split-pub
cp secret.gpg split-sec
cd split-pub
gpgsplit public.gpg

# looks like this:
000001-006.public_key
000002-013.user_id
000003-002.sig
000004-013.user_id
000005-002.sig
public.gpg

cd ../split-sec
gpgsplit secret.gpg

# looks like this:
000001-005.secret_key
000002-013.user_id
000003-002.sig
secret.gpg

cp ../split-pub/000004-013.user_id ../split-pub/000005-002.sig .
cat 00000* >secret.split.gpg

gpg --delete-secret-key 0x12345678
gpg --import secret.split.gpg
