Research direction
Start by reproducing the discrepancy with `keybase status`, `keybase pgp sign -m test`, and `keybase pgp export -s`. Trace why status reports the secret key as stored while signing and export cannot find it. Done means the stored secret key is available to both PGP commands, with tests covering the reported state.
