this might be related to some changes they made in the keys a while
back.... I think PGP V6 used one key for both signing and encrypting but
if you look at the keys now you see each key has a sub-key as well....
one used for signing and the other for encryption.

so i don't see how you can bring the old style key forward if i'm right
about the change

I just junked the keyring from PGP658WIN ( the old MIT version ) .  
actually I kinda like the idea of using separate encryption and signing
keys, but too: we should all consider how we will implement our policy
on expiration dates. when my key expires I will generate a new one and
upload it to the keyserver. hopefully the keyserver will be smart enough
to understand that I need to supersede my key and not give mu a bunch of
'duplicate record' crap.  if it gives any trouble in this regard oh
well: it just ain't ready for use yet.
