GPG chooses the key to use based on alphanumeric ordering of the short key ID, last time I experimented anyways. Best of luck overcoming that!
[0]How it caused a problem: I added an email address to my public key (or maybe it expired or something, I forget), and asked people to refresh their copy of my key. One person instead downloaded it entirely anew from a keyserver and got the old one. Oops. (Admittedly I didn't explicitly use the word "refresh".) Anyway yeah -- though this problem had happened to me, it hadn't ocurred to me that it might be common; maybe this is more of a problem than I thought...
