But only the KeyIDs of Bontchev and Zimmermann fits to the ones that
the PGP 5.5i implementation shows. And these two keys are RSA keys - the
others are DSA keys. Why that ?

Don't forget DSS/DH keys are exactly that - two key pairs.  The output is
correct (just used Jon Callas to illustrate)

Key Type: DSS  Key ID: 0x7DF9C2E6F12927A9      User: Jon Callas 
<jon(_at_)pgp(_dot_)com>
Key Type: DH   Key ID: 0x1130C676C095F272      User: Jon Callas 
<jon(_at_)pgp(_dot_)com>

Just as a side note I believe that PGP Keys (pgpk for the *nixers) only
operates with the keyID's of the signature keys. I don't think that you
can directly reference the encryption sub-key with the 5.x version of PGP.
