Yes, The keymapping present by default totally breaks this and there is
no NumLock key in the keymap. It is mapped to keycode 77, which seems
reasonable, but keycode 77 is only available on the IBM when SHIFT is
pressed. But SHIFT with keycode 77 is Pointer_EnableKeys! Can you say
"Catch-22"? 
keycode 77 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
(The first mapping is the plain key and the second is the SHIFTed key)

You can decide how you want to fix it. I map the shift code to also be
NumLock.

xmodmap -e "keycode 77 = Num_Lock Num_Lock"
