The primary key had been initially revoked and should have revoked the 
subkey also. The revocation of the primary key should not be an issue 
because no error is given about usability when going back to reissue the 
revocation explicitly against the subkey. GnuPG BUG: Unable to issue 
subkey revocation

Workaround possibility: There may be some difficult workaround like 
exporting the subkey as a single key and then using it's own authority to 
revoke itself as a primary key but if there are it seems difficult to 
paste this all together back into a pubkey to upload to the keyserver. 
You may formulate a path to try in this meanwhile time of getting it 
straightened out.
