gnupg 1.4.9-2 says "signing subkey 73CDA455 is already cross-certified"

I cross-certified 73CDA455 long time ago and if I try to do it again,
gnupg displays the message above and doesn't ask me to enter my
passphrase.

Command> cross-certify
subkey F607D9A1 does not sign and so does not need to be cross-certified
signing subkey 73CDA455 is already cross-certified
