"the keyservers"? Which one(s)?  This is a symptom of unpatched PKS
servers which don't understand newer key features like PhotoIDs.

Try an SKS server such as sks.dnsalias.net or sks.keyserver.penguin.de.

There are PKS servers that have been patched to work or not mangle the
newer key packets, but overall current work is happening with the SKS
software. (Side note: the latest release of SKS supports subkey indexing
and searching)
