And only now the penny drops.

I suppose a system checking for ROCA might rightfully take offense at a subkey
revoked as "superseded" or "lost"[1], because with ROCA it is actually
"compromised". I never checked what GnuPG does with two revocations on a key,
the earlier a "superseded" and the later a "compromised". The only correct thing
would be to treat it as "compromised", especially because the attacker could
generate a "superseded" with an earlier timestamp after the compromise and
create the same situation. So it ought to work.
