I guess you won't get any further information even if you call gpg from
the command line:
$ gpg --encrypt -r A6CC6651 test.txt
gpg: A6CC6651: skipped: unusable public key
gpg: test.txt: encryption failed: unusable public key
where A6CC6651 is my expired public key.
BTW, gnupg/doc/DETAILS specifies that INV_RECP status should accompany a
reason code 4 for expired keys, but currently it is 0 ("No specific
reason given"). I'll file a bug against GnuPG.
