I think I see the problem, in my /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h file
some of the keys I wish to enable have no symbols (0x0) 

>From xev and keysymdef.h
+---------------------------------------------+
|on kb  number hex     symbol    #define:     |
|---------------------------------------------|
|F13    182    0x0     NoSymbol               |
|F14    183    0xFFCB  F14       XK_F14, XK_L4|
|F15    184    0xFFCC  F15       XK_F15, XK_L5|
|F16    93     0x0     NoSymbol               |
|LOPT   115    0xFFCA  F13       XK_F13, XK_L3|
|ROPT   116    0xFFCD  F16       XK_F16, XK_L6|
+---------------------------------------------+

So the physical key "left option" is bound to F13 and "right option" is
bound to F16. Hopefully I can remap these now to play nicely with
emacs22
