Surprisingly hostile reply, given that I made clear that I don't blame the keyserver for this.
I did attempt to contact the app developers about their app's behavior--unfortunately, the only method they provided was a mailing list, so, upon having my first attempt at being discrete blow up in my face, I decided that being forced to send an e-mail to a public mailing list in order to draw attention the fact that I had inadvertently de-masked myself just seemed like rubbing salt into a wound.
To boot, it seems like something of a stretch to put a privacy-conscious user who misconfigured (or was unaware what the default behavior was, in my case) his privacy app to be in the same boat as a G-man or a celebrity who took nude selfies, don'tcha think?
