This is the only problem I think.
But it is not too serious.
A server has to verify a signature once in a key's lifetime.

They must not propagate but delete affected keys as soon as they recognize
'nokeyserver' identity and signature is verified.

"Help yourself, please."
Key owner has possibility to upload it's key with destroyer signature to
each key server by hand where (s)he want to be deleted from.
One by one. (Is it uncomfortable? What a pity! :-)
(Don't worry. Next week somebody sets up a proxy that do this heavy job.)
