Section 5.2.3.3. says:

   Subpackets that appear in a certification self-signature   apply to the user name, and subpackets that appear in the subkey   self-signature apply to the subkey.

It should say:

   Subpackets that appear in a certification self-signature   apply to the User ID, and subpackets that appear in the subkey   self-signature apply to the subkey.

Notes:

User ID, not user name
