We have an ISC 2.0.2 system here, and I played around with this a bit.
It appears that the keys you are having problems with don't generate
strings in an xterm or under Epoch. What you probably want to do is
use (rebind-key) to set those keys to generate the appropriate
sequences, e.g.

(rebind-key "Insert" 0 "\C-[[2~")

P.S. It seems strange to me that some of the problem keys have a
trailing ~ and others do not. Is this deliberate?
