Thanks.  I guess when I imported a PGP 2.6 key to GPG, I just did not
notice this detail, and GPG continued to use the V3 format key for me.

FWIW, newer versions of GnuPG (since 2.1.0) have completely dropped
support for v3 keys.  This silly construction of the keyid is only one
of the problems with the v3 format.
