A smaller change which should "solve" most of these problems could be to 
change the error message. If gpg is operating with the short format then a 
respective hint could be added:

"gpg is currently operation with short ID format. This prevents short ID 
collisions from being easily detected. You may want to run gpg with the option 
'--keyid-format long' to check the long IDs."
