Looks like it has to be numeric:
$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv 57548DCD
gpg: requesting key 57548DCD from wwwkeys.pgp.net ...
gpg: key 57548DCD: 8 new signatures
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: new signatures: 8
$ gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.pgp.net --recv 57548DCG
gpg: 57548DCG: not a valid key ID
$
