My guess is the same, but there are some other factors that are very
strange:
1) The problem is not SKS specific, and pgp.mit.edu (a pks
installation) shows the same thing.
2) Downloading the "bad" key, and then re-submitting it to the
keyserver results in the correct record - i.e. the keyserver is
able to parse the key properly the second time around.
I'm vaguely wondering if the key was slightly corrupt - say, a badly
formatted MPI - and when the keyserver received it, it
re-canonicalized the MPI to make it correct, but still indexed it
under the bad key ID. Could SKS do such a thing?
