PLEASE DON'T USE pgp.mit.edu !

Please use subkeys.pgp.net or sks.keyserver.penguin.de. Unlike 
pgp.mit.edu, these newer generation of keyservers correctly handle 
modern features such as images within keys and various subkey options.

Take a look at my key (0x8836C97C) on the two systems:

http://sks.keyserver.penguin.de:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x8836C97C&op=vindex

http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x8836C97C&op=vindex

Notice that while the MIT server has three uids, each listed twice, the 
sks server has three uids, an image (the uat packet) and expiry dates.

cheers
