This is a feature, believe it or not. During an import (and a keyserver --recv-keys or --refresh-keys is really just an import), GPG reads packets off the input stream. Once any of those packets prove invalid (a packet starting with 2D is invalid), there is no way to know where it is in the stream - how many bytes should it jump ahead to get back on the track.
