I am not certain this is an issue with the kernel. I have an msi-wind that runs 8.10 happily and have been trying to upgrade to 9.04/9.10 for some time and the camera and various other issues have put me off. As part of my investigations I have run the 2.6.31-10 kernel in my 8.10 system and the Fn+F6 bug is then not present; so the bug doesn't appear to travel with the kernel.
