Description

Hi, since today I started receiving the following error whenever I try to id myself:

```
warn: When checking knl: VerifyError: merkle root: signature verification failed
warn: Likely this is a bug or transient error; but the server could be compromised
error: Import failed: found >1 fingerprints!
```

When I first joined keybase I had one key, which I immediately revoked, and then a day later I generated new one. A first couple of days everything was fine, and then I started seeing this error. I tried `keybase reset`, to no avail.

Research direction

The report provides only the verification and import error messages, with no source file, test, or entry point named. Start by reproducing the identity flow and reviewing the behavior around `keybase reset`; done means identifying the cause of the signature verification failure and confirming that importing the current key succeeds.
