That is an error from an LDAP keyserver.

It's there:

gpgkeys: LDAP fetch for: (pgpkeyid=3D0FEBCEC3)
gpgkeys: requesting key 0x0FEBCEC3 from ldap://keyserver.pgp.com

User ID:        Daniel Carrera (PhD Student, Math) <dcarrera@math.umd.edu>
Short key ID:   0FEBCEC3

Presumably Neil was looking on one of the HKP keyservers.  The LDAP
keyserver don't sync very well (if at all) with the HKP keyservers.
