Enigmail as of 1.9 fails silently to import expired keys. This is a major obstacle when e.g. a user decides to import his key pair after a longer period of non usage. Also, expired public keys of other entities must be importable - maybe they can be made usable again by a single refresh from keyservers.

Most probably the "KEYEXPIRED <seconds_since_epoch>" output line of gpg confuses the state machine in key.jsm, function getKeyListFromKeyBlock.</seconds_since_epoch>
