"gpg --with-fingerprint $FILE" is not listing the keyfingerprint in some cases

I don't know if this is a bug, or if I am doing something wrong, so I might as
well ask here. I ran the following command from my terminal, and cannot
retrieve the fingerprint from the file:

    $ gpg --output 0xBB065B251FF4945B.gpg --export 0xBB065B251FF4945B
    $ gpg --with-colons --with-fingerprint 0xBB065B251FF4945B.gpg 
    pub:-:2048:1:BB065B251FF4945B:2008-07-27:::f:
    uid:::::::::Daniel T. Hagan <daniel at kickidle.com>:
    sub:-:2048:1:6BA86443C0C6CDA2:2008-07-27::::
    sub:-:2048:1:16C018D9B89B420A:2008-07-27::::

There should exist an "^fpr" line in the output. Compare to:

    $ gpg --output 0x4713D527ECE16009.gpg --export 0x4713D527ECE16009
    $ gpg --with-colons --with-fingerprint 0x4713D527ECE16009.gpg 
    pub:-:1024:17:4713D527ECE16009:2005-06-06:::f:George Hacker (GLS) <ghacker at redhat.com>:

Of the 453 keys in my public keyring, this happens on 8 of them (about 2%):

    0x072DC7442B89BD45
    0x14774C7B9958256C
    0x4B2A4897D39DA0E3
    0x63E42BD8C58C753A
    0x677A7DE8CC9A6F67
    0x6FA1B04BB6724E04
    0x9710B89BCA57AD7C
    0xBB065B251FF4945B

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks,
