The keys that work are the ones caught by X. Have you tried in
Mythfrontend to go into Config -> Edit Keys and to add the missing
buttons directly. This instead of the old way where you translate in
lirc to a keypress (e.g. P for Play/Pause) This now should then show
up as KEY_PAUSE and KEY_PLAY directly.
I don't work with Mythbuntu and this new way so I haven't tried it.
