<kp-insert> is mapped to <insert> at a low level.  view-lossage looks
below the low level, C-h c and C-h k don't.  But I think if you just
bind the key <kp-insert>, everything should work.  Have you tried
that?

Btw, something similar happens with <backspace> and DEL.  `C-h c
<backspace>' prints `DEL is bound...' on my system, whereas `C-h l'
reports `<backspace>', not `DEL'.
