I've had a wee bit of bother like that. In my case, the SSH client was 
(and is) PuTTY. I wound up modifying ~/.mc/ini as follows:

[terminal:linux]
f11=\e[25~
f12=\e[26~
f13=\e[28~
f14=\e[29~
f15=\e[31~
f16=\e[32~
f17=\e[33~
f18=\e[34~
f19=\e[23~
f20=\e[24~

[terminal:xterm-256color]
f13=\e[25~
f14=\e[26~
f15=\e[28~
f16=\e[29~
f17=\e[31~
f18=\e[32~
f19=\e[33~
f20=\e[34~
bs=^?   # This was a directly-entered chr(127).
end=\e[4~
home=\e[1~

I run PuTTY in 256-colour mode because of the Elinks browser.
