Unlikely.  The photo id data does not change the keyring format.
However, GnuPG 1.0.6e itself does change the keyring format so that
1.0.6 will no longer read it (this is discussed in the release notes).

Is it possible your GUI is still using GnuPG 1.0.6 to try and read the
keyrings that you were using with 1.0.6e?
