note that this particular keyserver has decided to be incompatible with 
the current OpenPGP standard, by ommitting a valid user id, unless
it was "validated".
(It says so it in its FAQ and there is port of a discussion here
https://dev.gnupg.org/T4393#133695)
This could potentially cause problems.

Have you tried some other keyservers like http://keys2.andreas-puls.de/ ?
Or you can set some dirmngr options to get more diagnostic output
in its logfile. (See dirmngr's documentation.)
