Comment (by madage):

 After some more digging on it, it's reproducible here and it appears using
 torify with use-tor on dirmngr conf is unrelated. I was not getting it
 before because I was searching the key on a onion keyserver. When trying
 to get it on clearnet I got the same behaviour.

 Also, dirmngr's log is full of:

 dirmngr[30365.10] error accessing
 'http://pgp.surfnet.nl:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&options=mr&search=0xD8219C8C43F6C5E1':
 http status 503
 dirmngr[30365.10] selecting a different host due to a 503 (Service
 Unavailable)
 dirmngr[30365.10] setting CA from file '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-
 certificates.crt' failed: ASN1 parser: Error in TAG.
