I guess you mean what I call Photo ID and NAI calls Biometric
Indetification Packet.

This is not part of OpenPGP and violates the standard. They use a
packet number which is neither assigned by OpenPG nor in the range
for private extensons.  GnuPG has some minimal support for it but due
to lacking specs for that packet there is nothing more we know.

IMHO, the keyserver behaves correctly if it drops these packets.  I
have not expected that they can handle it at all and assume that the
won't drop the binding signature for the PhotoID so that you have at
leas one invalid signature - well I am not sure of course.

Ciao,
