To my knowledge on outdated versions of PKS a key is mangled completely if a new subkey arrives. On recent PKS servers, a new subkey is simply not stored (so the old subkey stays there and the complete key stays intact, only the new subkey is missing). The word has it that there was one single patched PKS that could handle multiple subkeys, but the patch was never published. You might convince your IT-department at least when someone else has to add a new subkey. So just sit and wait and you will get better (or more) arguments... ;-) No, to be honest: SKS keyservers work for all recent key formats of PGP/GnuPG, so that's a solution...
