Looks like a bug. Note that on each of the keys that didn't work there is a direct signature on the key. This is not very common, and is usually used for a designated revoker (i.e. "I permit so-and-so to revoke my key for me"). I suspect there is a bug printing the fingerprints on a key from a key file (rather than from a keyring) for keys with a direct signature.
