It makes some sense, but OTOH it sounded like in console it's actually
the external keyboard which is working correctly for you.

Also, my Apple keyboard isn't connected to an Apple machine but to an HP
notebook. How do you suggest such a combination should be configured
without the ISO quirk?

Finally, I still find it hard to believe that this issue would only
affect this particular Apple ISO keyboard model.
