Can you tell me specifically What error message are you seeing?  I think
i've reproduced the problem, but i want to be sure we're talking about
the same thing.

I just tried it with 2:1.9.5-4 and the attached public key file (via Key
Manager | File menu | Import keys from file), and i get a warning dialog
box that says:

    ⚠  Error - First OpenPGP block not public key block

however, this is pretty clearly not correct:

0 dkg at alice:~$ pgpdump < tmp/foo.asc  | head
Old: Public Key Packet(tag 6)(525 bytes)
	Ver 4 - new
	Public key creation time - Tue Apr 15 12:56:56 EDT 2014
	Pub alg - RSA Encrypt or Sign(pub 1)
	RSA n(4096 bits) - ...
	RSA e(17 bits) - ...

Regards,
