The Symantec product, now owned by Broadcom, still doesn't support
Curve 25519 keys.[1] And, annoyingly enough, it provides an error
message that makes it look like a bad public key file (not containing
an OpenPGP key), instead of clearly identifying that there is an
OpenPGP key, but of a type unknown to the product.
