Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the shown keybase pgp select command and compare behavior with the reported Keybase 1.0.9-0 versions. Trace the ImportKey error from the select flow to identify the affected entry point; done means selecting the displayed key no longer fails with an entity-without-identities error.
