Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported keybase pgp sign command with a key that uses a subkey, then inspect the client code path that reports “Bad key found” and use log id 672ee62ddee52be1d0a19e1c for context. Done means signing with the subkey succeeds without the private-key-material error.
