Research direction
The reported entry point is the Keybase web interface's public-key upload, which fails with the exact error "Unknown curve OID: 2b8104000a" for secp256k1 subkeys. Start by reproducing the upload and tracing where that OID is handled; done means keys with secp256k1 signing and encryption subkeys upload successfully.
