Seems to be related not only to this model. I have the
old version here ("white plastic", german layout), and
F13-F16 and the four keys on the top right don't seem
to generate anything. I've checked both text mode and
xev (in X) - and made almost the same observations as
you did. I don't have that kind of strange behaviour
with other multifunctional keyboards (Sun type 6 and 7,
german layout).

Sorry, no solution here, only confirmation... :-(
