I did add some code to the PKS tree to at least avoid the worst
problems (it will reject additional subkeys rather than corrupting
them), but this is a far cry from full subkey support.

My current recommendation is to use the SKS keyservers.

  hkp://keyserver.bu.edu
  hkp://sks.keyserver.penguin.de
  hkp://sks.dnsalias.net
  hkp://ensemble02.cs.cornell.edu

Any of those, or hkp://keyserver.kjsl.com will work correctly with
multiple subkeys.

It is unfortunate that the usual recommendation of "use
wwwkeys.pgp.net" is no longer the right answer as some of the servers
in the wwwkeys rotation have subkey bugs.
