No, the fixed PKS one works for subkeys.  The problem was one of the
other ones, and it has been fixed now.

Still, the situation is not ideal.  Not all of the servers in
subkeys.pgp.net work with photo IDs... the quest for one keyserver
that JUST PLAIN WORKS without fussing over photo IDs and special
tricks for v3 RSA and hacks for subkeys seems never to end.

Maybe it's time for a "it-just-plain-works-damnit.pgp.net".
