Interesting. Could you by any chance try to run the 'evtest' program (i can send it to you if you don't have it handy) on the /dev/input/event device created for this keyboard? And/or dmesg with DEBUG enabled in hid-core.c? Also, latest kernels should make even the extra keys of this keyboard work ...
