This looks to be a problem with vte changing to match XTerm's behaviour, and possibly XTerm not matching how terminfo thinks it behaves.

http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/vte/trunk/src/keymap.c?r1=1341&r2=1391 shows the change.

It looks like the distinction is there to differentiate F13-F16 from Shift-F1 through Shift-F4. I don't understand the code well enough to see why it only applies to F1-F4 and not F5-F12.
