Release: 1.4.0
While it's possible to include a keyserver url in data signatures using sig-keyserver-url, including a keyserver url in key signatures isn't supported - http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.user/12031
Should someone set auto-key-retrieve & import a key with my signature, I would like to include the url from which to obtain my key.
Thanks for making gnupg such an exciting tool!

The problem with this is that we don't have an auto-key-retrieve for key signatures. It's not even clear what such an option would do - fetch all signatures during a trust rebuild? I'm not sure we want such a thing.
Without an auto-key-retrieve that works for key signatures, storing a preferred keyserver there would be purely ornamental. Equivalent to a comment in the key.

I concur that this does not make sense.
