This was supposed to be fixed by this commit:

as that change removes the truncation of the value returned by gpg to 8 characters.
Unfortunately this doesn't work (I still get this problem) as it seems that GOODSIG sometimes does not contain the full 40 character fingerprint but only 16 characters of it.
It looks like "VALIDSIG" contains the right content.

In general the 8 character key ID should never be used as it is trivial to create multiple keys with the same 8 character key ID and thousands such keys exist. It gets very confusing when someone else creates a key with a matching 8 character key ID for one of your keys.
