Private keys are neither valid nor trusted. Certificates (public keys) are
(in)valid and (un)trusted.

Indeed.

GnuPG doesn't care about the trust level but about the validity level. The
trust level doesn't change the validity level (exception: ultimate). You should
never use ultimate trust in order to make a key valid.

You mean ultimately trusted?

And it must be possible to encrypt to an invalid key because otherwise the user
is forced to pretend a key validation (unless he knows certain tricks).
