I can easily see a person who uses fuction keys being duped into
sending some unknown command to the host machine/

Programming function keys is not the only problem.  Some terminals
have the ability to write their current line (or page) to the
terminal.  This could be used to send anything to the host machine as
if the user typed it from the keyboard.
