Looks like the version of gpg that workbench uses does not support 
--keyserver-options debug.

Any ideas how to get more information from the failure?

The man page on whimsy-vm4 would indicate that debug is a suitable 
keyserver-option. 

Any ideas:

gpg: Signature made Fri Feb 15 01:02:20 2019 UTC using RSA key ID 7B061396 gpg: 
Can't check signature: No public key gpg: keyserver option 'verbose' is unknown 
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
