Bah, I just didn't know.  :D  I suspected though, which is why I
mentioned typing interactively as a fallback.

What version is it?  Is there a newer version available?

  gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr "GETINFO version" /bye

There have been a bunch of fixes for various DNS issues with dirmngr, I
would expect to see something showing that it's a pool.

You're talking to zimmermann.mayfirst.org, which works fine; I just
overrode DNS for the pool and made sure that
hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net only reached that IP (/etc/hosts override)
and I was able to retrieve a key fine, after which:

> KEYSERVER --hosttable
S # hosttable (idx, ipv6, ipv4, dead, name, time):
S #   0       hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
S #   .       hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
S #   .   --> 1*
S #   1   4   216.66.15.2 (hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net)
OK

I suspect that you have an old dirmngr and the problems are fixed with a
newer release of gpg4win.
