I have the same problem.
Switching to ctrl-alt-f1 the shift-f8 does toggle something about the
num-lock key. That is I can get the numeric keypad to work in that
console with the num-lock key lighted. Thus it is obviously *not* a
hardware problem.
However, I cannot get the numeric keypad to work in
multi-gnome-terminal. The num-lock changes the state of the light but
that's all. Shift-f8 doesn't seem to do anything at all.
It used to work.
