Mario,

Thank you! numlockx was my problem. I forgot that I had installed it months ago. Found this forum post showing how to change the default F key behavior http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3518372&postcount=5

However, pressing the numlock key, or on this keyboard it's labeled "clear", still causes the behavior described above. So I think there's still a bug.

A workaround I found was to enable the keypad numbers by default by going to System > Preferences > Keyboard > (Layouts Tab) > Layout Options... > Miscellaneous Compatibility Options, and checking "Default numeric keys" and "Numeric keypad keys work as with Mac."
