Research direction
Start with the reported keybase pgp import --push-secret -i secret-key-file.asc command and the listed GPA/GnuPG versions, using log ID 0c3477c6bd676a9be0081e1c for context. Reproduce the MSB parsing error; done means the GPA-created secret key imports successfully and can be pushed without that error.
