I believe the PTR requests themselves are a bug, so not making them
seems just fine to me:

  https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2928

So it looks to me like the stock behavior is the correct behavior for
dirmngr to me, given a broken DNS resolver that cannot handle SRV
queries.

Can you explain what you would expect to be done differently?
