You may use any way to specify a user id.  It is the same code as used
when you fire up "gpg --key-edit USERID" with the only restriction that
the key must have certify capability which is always the case for a
primary key.

If you have the two user IDs, gpg can't decide which to use.  Thus you
need to use the keyid or the fingerprint.  Please check again and if you
can't make it work, please create a test case for us.
