[gnupg-devel list: I think this is a PGP bug. Is there a way to fix the
keys with PGP?]

Unfortunately, gpg is strict about timestamps:

gpg: public key is 5590 seconds newer than the signature
pub  1280R/969ECE01 1995-09-27 [invalid] UT System OTS Institutional
Certification Service
sig        969ECE01 1995-09-26  UT System OTS Institutional
Certification Service
sig        689DA021 1997-08-04  [User id not found]
sig        A80F1F90 1997-08-04  [User id not found]
gpg: public key is 4557 seconds newer than the signature
uid                            [invalid] <pgp-inst-cert at ots.utexas.edu>
sig        969ECE01 1995-09-26  UT System OTS Institutional
Certification Service
sig        689DA021 1997-08-04  [User id not found]
sig        A80F1F90 1997-08-04  [User id not found]

Using the --ignore-time-conflict option in GPG enables it to use the
keys, but does not fix the problem.
