This is a bug.  The logic for setting that combo was incorrect.  It is
fixed in git master.

If you can't compile from source, the work around is to run gpg
--edit-key <key id> at the command line.  Use the trust command and
set it to ultimate.

Please send emails to the list in the future.

Cheers,
