You're right, that second setxkbmap line works just fine.

Also, configuring gnome-keyboard-properties as you describe seems to work,
although I get the "Error activating XKB configuration." dialog. I suspect that
may be due to misconfiguration in my xorg.conf file, though (where hpi6 is set
as the variant)?

It's too long ago for me to remember, but I think I probably set hpi6 as the
variant based on searching google for how to make the keys on this laptop work,
but I honestly don't remember, and can't find any such page on google now.

Thanks for your help!
