I worked around this issue by using:

$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/information/40-thinkvantage-KEY_PROG1.fdi=20
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<deviceinfo version=3D"0.2">
  <device>
    <!-- These are buttons synthesized in the thinkpad-acpi kernel module -=
->
    <match key=3D"input.product" string=3D"ThinkPad Extra Buttons">
      <!-- Lenovo systems have a similar but different layout to IBM system=
s -->
      <match key=3D"/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.hardware.v=
endor" prefix=3D"LENOVO">
        <append key=3D"input.keymap.data" type=3D"strlist">0x17:prog1</appe=
nd>
        <append key=3D"info.capabilities" type=3D"strlist">input.keymap</ap=
pend>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>


With this change, I the key is reported as XF86Launch1 to X
applications, and I could successfully bind this key in xmonad.

Of course, it=E2=80=99d be cleaner if I could bind XF86Vendor, but this doe=
s not
exist yet, it seems.

Greetings,
Joachiom
