Research direction
Reproduce the reported flow with `gpg --export-secret-key --armour [my email]`, then paste the resulting text into the secret-key window and record which error appears. Trace the secret-key upload entry point to determine how the ASCII export is parsed; done means a valid exported private key is accepted without the reported errors.
