x-hkp://pgp.mit.edu was the keyserver I used.

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 437292C7
gpg: key 437292C7: duplicated user ID detected - merged
gpg: key 437292C7: "Matthew Dempsky <address@hidden>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

The key is present in the server, it was replicated correctly, but

$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys D2610BD0
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0

pgp.mit.edu doesn't support the subkey search, so we can say it has
"subtle bug" ;)

$ gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys D2610BD0
gpg: key 437292C7: "Matthew Dempsky <address@hidden>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

Conclusion: don't use pgp.mit.edu any more.

Could be cool.
