When you press in Terminal a function or cursor or numerical keypad  
key, then these keys produce ANSI Esc sequences (you can record them,  
for example in *scratch* buffer, with: C-q <key press>). These codes  
are quite characteristic for each terminal (or its emulation). So it  
should help when Terminal and the remote shell have the same TERM  
value set and since Terminal is quite inflexible make the remote site  
follow Terminal (I am using xterm-color).

Did you make a test with this set-up? It might also help to launch  
GNU Emacs with -Q that no customisation disturbs. Does it make a  
difference with and without -Q?
