There shouldn't be any date conflicts with self-signatures - but it
may happen. The way to handle it for a general purpose implemention is
to ignore all signatures during key import which are older than
existing one. That you ignore all self-signatures which are invalid
should be clear.
So I do not see a problem before the year 2106 and most of us won't see
it ever.
