Seems to be a known bug:

$ dirmngr
# Home: ~/.gnupg
# Config: /home/guru/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf
OK Dirmngr 2.1.6 at your service
KEYSERVER hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
OK
KS_SEARCH matthew at FreeBSD.org
Assertion failed: (a >= 0 && a < hosttable_size), function
sort_hostpool, file ks-engine-hkp.c, line 179.
Abort trap (core dumped)
