Your key *is* revoked though. The fact that it doesn’t explicitly say that the subkey is revoked is a minor issue because subkeys should not be used when their primary key is revoked.

I haven’t seen those posts. But if you have an automation system that can use a subkey when its primary key is hard revoked, then there is a bug in that automation system.
