I've closed this problem as "not a bug".
I found this comment in the keysymdef.h from the current Xorg release:
! The definitions here should match <X11/XF86keysym.h>
XF86AudioLowerVolume :1008FF11
Therefore I am closing this problem. The header file should be
updated, not the Fvwm man page.

Subject: XF86 custom keysyms are also usable
Full_Name: Emmanuel Thom..

Excerpt from the fvwm man page:
Key Keyname Context Modifiers Function
[...]
The Keyname is one of the entries from
/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h,
with the leading XK_ omitted.
[...]
This is correct, but under XFree86, it turns out that the XF86
vendor-specific keysyms also work. These are defined in
/usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h (or, as far as Xlib is concerned, in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB). For example, I have successfully set up the
following binding:
Key XF86AudioLowerVolume A A Function MMK "AudioLowerVolume"
This means that when you read along the lines of XF86keysym.h,
XF86XK_AudioLowerVolume should really be read as XF86AudioLowerVolume ; the
XK_ prefix isn't in XKeysymDB.
Of course, this is only possibly useful if the running X server does
generate such keysyms, which require some configuration work.
In short, I suggest augmenting the quoted sentence above by the
following:
Under XFree86, you can also use any of the keysyms listed in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. You are responsible of having your X
server generating such events.
