After some searching and trying various configurations, I noticed that there are two ways to use Anthy from within I-Bus. For Japanese I have a choice of four I-Bus backends:

Anthy
anthy (m17n)
trycode (m17n)
tcode (m17n)

I accidentally picked the second one, which although it uses Anthy for the conversion, doesn't seem to provide any of the other functionality needed to input Japanese. The first entry "Anthy", does work as expected, including the function key conversion.

I'm not sure why the second option is even present.
