Hmm, in putty (Terminal->Keyboard) I changed "the function keys and keypad" from "ESC[n~" to "Linux". Hitting F1-5 in psql outputs "ABCDE" - no segfaults! Setting it to "Xterm R6" also results in function keys 1-4 causing segfaults (there are also options for "VT400", "VT100+", and "SCO" - haven't tried those).
