I agree with gniibe's observation about problems with the reverse lookups, as well as his diagnosis that it is a lack of robustness in dirmngr. This was reported upstream at https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2928 -- the use of the PTR lookup is not only not useful, it's actively causing this failure. I've adjusted the debian bug to point to the correct upstream bug. --dkg
