Is it possible the two Ubuntu distributions you mentioned ship different 
versions of gnupg? I am asking about it because gnupg v. 2.0 and earlier and 
gnupg v. 2.1.x and later have different ways of storing keys. I don’t know the 
details because i started using gpg from version 2.1.x but this might be where 
you could start to investigate the issue.
