This is interesting: After changing my encryption subkey's expiration
by a few days (from 2008-01-31 to 2008-01-01), I tried to upload the

It complained that my key had expired, but it hasn't. Submitting the
key to the SKS key servers (hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net) didn't
have a problem. My key ID is CD5518C7 if you want to look at it.

Your key looks fine to me.  Possibly the GD was complaining that you
have two expired subkeys, though this should not matter as you also
have an unexpired one.

Perhaps try deleting the expired subkeys before submitting the key to
the GD.  If that works, you might submit a bug report on the GD, since
an expired subkey should not prevent uploading the whole key.

The key as you see it in GD has expirations on all three subkey; two expired, but one currently unexpired. The change I performed was to move the expiration of the third subkey (EEA4EC97) to 2008-01-01. It is this changed key that was rejected by GD. Would it be helpful to send you the key as it currently exists in my keyring (which was rejected) for comparison with what was previous acceptable? Also, the expiration date on the subkey as it exists in GD was set at the time the subkey was created, whereas the expiration on the subkey in my keyring was changed post creation. Would that make a difference in the representation? I'm not familiar enough with the details of the spec. to know if this even makes sense.
