Here are some more offending keys:

  0xA0B3E88B
  0xFC05DA69
  0x0FCF6738
  0xCC78C893
  0x98FDE37C
  0x74C9DE33
  0x57023F00 - corrupt subkey

Fetching them from keyserver.kjsl.com is now possible with gnupg-1.4.2.
To patch pks, add this to the middle of decode_mpi() (in pgputil.c):

  /* skip packets with 0-length MPIs for GPG's benefit (gnupg-1.4.2) */
  if (mpi->nbits == 0) {
    return (0);
  }
