Searching keyserver with string containing dots causes parsing error

[Robert G]

Using seahorse function "Remote" > "Find Remote Keys" and typing in a name that contains dots results in very strange output. Where the names are usually display is a mess of characters as if the same position was drawn multiple times with different chars. Instead of the e-mail address there is what seems to be code. Unfortunately I closed seahorse and I didn't take a screenshot, key servers are currently giving me internal server errors (hopefully this issue didn't occur on the server side).

One possible string that seem to trigger the bug is "S.H.I.E.L.D."

It might be that these entries are deliberately malformed, but seahorse also doesn't display them appropriately.
