This is what I have on my system.
If you are not modifying the defaults in any way as you stated then I
can only guess that your keycodes/xfree86 file is corrupt in some way.
I grepped all the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/keycodes for DOWN and
none showed a keycode of 116 for DOWN. You might try reinstalling the
xlib6g package(that contains the keycodes) and see if that fixes it.
Strange,
