Enigmail 1.9.4 is older than GnuPG 2.1.14. It does not know how to interpret some new messages introduced by GnuPG, and therefore fails to import the keys. That's fixed on the development tree. In general, I recommend GnuPG 2.0.x for regular users. 2.1.x is the current development version of GnuPG with sometimes major changes (and errors) between each version. -Patrick
