Signatures on a subkey?

I was just looking at key 0x2B9880E1E6602099 because GnuPG was
flagging up that the key is newer than some of the signatures on it. I
noticed that a large number of the signatures visible with
gpg --with-sig-list --list-keys 0x2B9880E1E6602099
are not visible at the delsig command when editing the key. They are
also not stripped by --minimize or --clean. In fact, nearly a hundred
signatures seem to be on the subkey 0x73CC004C3EE4249E rather than
on any of the UIDs. See the block beginning with "sub  2048R/3EE4249E"
near the bottom of this page:-

Can anybody explain?
