But that only happens on your machine when you use
loadkeys emacs2
right?
On my Fedora machine "loadkeys emacs2" does not change the what the
arrow keys emit.

The problem is that on your machine what the arrow keys emit does not
correspond to the "linux" terminfo entry (terminfo expect \e[[A whereas
the terminal emits \eOA). So emacs is confused.
Once that confusion is resolved, facemenu.el would just work.
