I remember having similar problems with another machine:

  % xmodmap -display -pk | grep '(F1[12])'
     95 0xffc8 (F11)
     96 0xffc9 (F12)

  % xmodmap -display starlight:0 -pk | grep '(F1[12])'
     67 0xffbe (F1) 0xffc8 (F11)
     68 0xffbf (F2) 0xffc9 (F12)
     95 0xffc8 (F11)
     96 0xffc9 (F12)

Unlike CTWM (I only guess about it), FVWM has a logic to bind the binding

  Key F11 A N Restart

to all keycodes (67 and 95) that this keysym (F11) is assigned to.

To fix this I would execute in ~/.xinirc:

  % xmodmap -e 'keycode 67 = F1' -e 'keycode 68 = F2'

Or maybe just change the order of your "Key F1" and "Key F11" lines? :)

Mikhael.
