This is the expected behaviour. Why don't you want to use your subkey?
You can force the usage of the mainkey:
--local-user 0x1a571df5\!
--default-key 0x1a571df5\!
(the \ is for the shell and not always necessary)
The main key should not be available for normal usage. The keyword is: offline
mainkey.
