All this developer can say is I cannot reproduce this.  I made a
.emacs file that includes only one line:

(load "~/einit.el")

I then made a file einit.el that also includes one line:

(global-set-key [(f11)]   'capitalize-word)

I then started Emacs and "C-h c f11" says it's bound to
capitalize-word, as expected.

So please look at the details of your init files, and see what you
didn't tell us.
