"I confirm strange behaviour of the fn key: If I press fn+F1, Ubuntu
opens the help window of the application active (actually, it opens it
several times if you press fn+F1 longer than quarter of a second). If
you, on the other side, press F1 only (i.e. without fn), some display
brightness menu appears. IMHO things should be the other way round. This
looks like a real bug."

I believe that's the expected behaviour on Apple keyboards.  The Fn key
is to activate the F* function of the key, while the key is normally
whatever icon it says it is.  At least, that's how they act with OSX.  I
could understand wanting to change it though.

I'm marking this against hal-info given that adding a usbhid quirk is a
workaround.

** Changed in: hal-info (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => hal-info
