I have also seen this. The culprit seems to be the pks-type keyserver.
Currently no solution, AFAIK. You might want to use the NAI keyservers until
this is resolved.

My current assessment is that the pks is stripping off "subkey binding
signatures", leaving the key in a crippled state.
I believe it only happens when adding a new key, adding a subkey to an
existing key appears to fail entirely. If people can download your key
they must furthermore be using pgp, because gpg does not import such a
key. I have also tried to use a broken key for encryption in pgp, but it
did not work.
Has somebody successfully encrypted mail to you using your
freshly downloaded key?
