I glossed over the fact that it is listed under subkeys because I was 
focused on the wax seal icon which I take it indicates the primary key. 
It look's like a red thesecret wax seal but in the screenshot is greyed 
out.

You suppose this is a bug in OpenKeychain. I also supposed it is a bug in 
gpgp2 because I was not able to confirm revocation packets in the subkey 
while gpg2 report's the subkey revoked.

Can you examine the key from the 
keys.openpgp.org[https://keys.openpgp.org] keyserver and see if there are 
revocation packets in the subkey? When I looked as I stated in the 
opening I am a beginner at gpg2 and I did not see any indication the 
subkey has revocation packets. What are the gpg2 commands to read the 
pubkey for revocation packets under the subkey? What should I look for?
