That is interesting. "keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1" is the output that I
get with "xmodmap -pke" and this command is supposed to return the exact
expressions which can be used with "-e" to set things up. I can only guess that
the format of the expressions is dependent on the general keyboard setup.

I would experiment like this:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F13 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F13 F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F1 F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1 F13 F13 XF86_Switch_VT_1'
It would be interesting to know what works for you and also your general
keyboard setup. For comparison, here is what I have:
$ xmodmap -pke | grep 'F1 '
keycode 67 = F1 XF86_Switch_VT_1
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete+caps(shift)" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc105)+es(nodeadkeys)+compose(menu)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
$ awk '/Section "InputDevice"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
