It seems the GD doesn't always accept revocations for keys it stores:

  %gpg --keyserver keyserver.kjsl.com --recv 3EA5F9EF
  [snip]

  %gpg --check-sigs 3EA5F9EF
  pub   1024D/3EA5F9EF 2004-12-13 [revoked: 2005-02-06]
  rev!         3EA5F9EF 2005-02-06  Tobias Braunschober <[elided]>
  uid                  Tobias Braunschober <>
  sig!3        3EA5F9EF 2005-02-06  Tobias Braunschober <>
  sig!3        3EA5F9EF 2004-12-13  Tobias Braunschober <>
  sig!         CA57AD7C 2005-02-05  PGP Global Directory Verification Key

Note that the key is returned from keyserver-beta.pgp.com
_without its revocation_:
