I confirm that 2.1 behaves differently:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ $(guix build gnupg-2.1)/bin/gpg2 --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 3D9AEBB5
gpg: key "3D9AEBB5 #EA52ECF4" not found
gpg: (check argument of option '--hidden-encrypt-to')
$ $(guix build gnupg-2.0)/bin/gpg2 --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 3D9AEBB5
gpg: requesting key 3D9AEBB5 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: key 3D9AEBB5: "Ludovic Courtès <address@hidden>" not changed
gpg:       Nombro traktita entute: 1
gpg:                   neŝanĝitaj: 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I would suggest reaching out to the GnuPG mailing lists.
