Different fingerprints on different servers - general problem?

Sorry, for spam reasons, I am not willing to make the email-adresses
public, but I found out, that http://www.keyserver.net reports
other fingerprints than sks-servers, if a RSA-key was created first
and an El-Gamal-subkey was added. It could be also, that it happens
only if the key is larger than 1024. In this case a RSA key of 2048
was created and an El-Gamal-key of 4096. If it makes sense to use
such large keys is another question.
SKS-servers show the same fingeprint than locally, so IMO
keyserver.net is a bad choice for checking fingerprints.
