2.2 still has the migration code.  However, once a migration is done it
will not be done again.  Thus adding a new key with an old version of gpg
at least the secret key won't show up in a newer gpg version.

Right.  The official way to do this is to run 
  gpg --export-secret-key KEYID >FILE
using the old version of gpg and then to run
  gpg --import <FILE
using the new version of gpg.  It is also possible to delete the file
~/.gnupg/.gpg-v21-migrated so that a migration will be triggered again.
