The bug is still here, in 10.10. Very annoying!
Submitted the same bug as Bug #730307

Disabling console-cyrillic at boot time solves the problem, but leaves console without Russian characters.
I manually edited /etc/console-cyrillic, changing YES to NO in the following line:

# Bootsetup: NO

Now ALT+Fn works as expected, but I have to enable Russian letters on console by manually running 'cyr'.
