I agree this is caused by keycode interpretation.
Fn key handling in minimo is something wrong.

I confirmed Fn key has assigned symbol Mode_switch on X layer.
This one is usally one of modifier, and in rxvt it works as it should be.
e.g. Fn + ',' produces < .

On XUL layer, such as on minimo, Fn + ',' should produce < also but doesn't.
Fn key causes keypress event by itself, without any key.

You can see easily what I want to say if you open
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA014481/xul/keyEvents.xul
from minimo and type something in textbox.

Shift + - produces keycode 64 = '@'
Shift itself doesn't fire keypress event by itself.

Fn itself fires keypress event.

It is strange from what behavior the Fn key is expected.

I believe there are some way to let Fn work as a modifier key in Minomo
