Fixed.

Good point. I did this:
Note that while OpenPGP cipher negotiation prevents
interoperability problems with public key encrypted
messages, if
Camellia (or any other optional cipher) is used for
encrypting
private keys, there could be interoperability problems
when
migrating a private key from one system to another. A
similar
issue can arise when using an optional cipher for
symmetric-only
encrypted messages (which may not perform cipher
negotiation).
Senders of such messages should take care they are using
a cipher
that their intended recipient can decrypt.
