Hm, these seem like they could be failures of either:

 * dirmngr

 * the test/demo keyserver

have you tried instrumenting either of these components of the test
suite to log more data so that you can see why they're failing?

for dimrngr, you'd do something like adding the following to
dirmngr.conf in the example homedir:

    debug-level guru
    log-file /tmp/schleuder-test/example.org/list4/dirmngr.log
    debug 0xffffffff
    verbose

and then in the event of a test failure, dump the contents of
dirmngr.log

I'm not sure how the test/demo keyserver is currently implemented so i'm
not sure how to get better diagnostics from it.

hth,
