Bryce Harrington says in bug 280646:

"On the Thinkpad T61 specific issue, I discussed it with Peter Hutterer.
It seems to be that on this hardware, the numlock key doesn't actually
send events when the fn is pressed so we have no way of knowing that it
is pressed. This was verified via gdb on the xserver. Scroll lock and
numlock are shared, so fn has to be pressed to trigger numlock.

So it seems to be either a hardware or kernel bug."

This doesn't seem quite accurate: I do (at least sometimes) see key
events for the Fn key.  Also, shift+numlock also activates num lock, and
shift definitely does show key events.
