Running Enigmail version 1.8a1pre (20150202-0013) with Thunderbird 31.4.0 and 
linux

Incoming message causes yellow enigmail header to appear (Part of the message
signed with unknown key; click on the 'Import Key' button to download the key)

Trouble is that there is no Import Key button displayed.  I have seen this
button on several previous occasions (next to the Details button) but not on
this message.  Which is from someone for whom I already have a key but not
apparently the correct key.

The 'Details/enigmail security info' button provides no useful info :

"Part of the message signed Unverified signature"  (no key id)

Double clicking on his detached signature file gives a dialogue box with his key
identity.  Attempting to import this key manually with Key Manager brought two
times a failure with success the third time.

My guess is that this person has added an ECC subkey to his key and the pool
only hit on a key server, third time, which could handle this.

In this case, it looks like an occasion when enigmail does not supply a useful
response to the situation - no import button, poor security info.
