Thanks Jon, that works a treat.

The new output for the Fn key is:
[ 89311.789] winTranslateKey: wParam 000000ff lParam 01630001
[ 89311.789] winSendKeyEvent: dwKey: 85, fDown: 1, nEvents 2
[ 89311.789] winTranslateKey: wParam 000000ff lParam c1630001
[ 89311.789] winSendKeyEvent: dwKey: 85, fDown: 0, nEvents 2

The corresponding output in xev is now:

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 89443079, (86,83), root:(202,215),
    state 0x0, keycode 93 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_switch), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
    root 0x101, subw 0x0, time 89443079, (86,83), root:(202,215),
    state 0x0, keycode 93 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_switch), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False
