This is intentional.  When you change the keyserver or prefs, you are *just* 
changing the keyserver or prefs.  It would not be appropriate to silently add a 
policy URL or notation as part of the process.  If you want to change a policy 
URL or notation after it has been issued, you can simply delete the old sig 
(even a self-sig can be deleted) and re-issue it.
