I don't believe this is the reason. The problem is gone since I deleted the
two revoked signatures. Now I can work normally with the key.

Slow it is. Verifying David's Signature needs more than 10 seconds
(with GPG using about 70% of my G4-500 CPU) whereas verifying other attached
signatures (eg. Jason's and Sebastina's in this list) need less than 3
seconds. 

But before deleting them those 2 signatures seem to have corrupted my whole
keyring.
