I don't use PuTTY much, but I was able to duplicate the problem. The solution that worked for me was to change a setting in the Features panel.
This session was from PuTTY running on a Microsoft W2K box connected to a Solaris 10 box. The version of PuTTY is:
After you have logged in:
1) right click on the Title bar
2) Mouse down and select Change Settings
3) Click Features from the left side
4) Uncheck: Disable application keypad mode
5) Click the Apply button
If this works, you may want to save the new session settings. You may be able to do this without logging in -- I didn't test that. In my situation, I have none of the features checked.
I tested the behavior by checking and unchecking the box and it seemed to cause your symptoms to appear and disappear.
The other solutions posted may also work, but this seems like an easy solution.

I recently needed to collect arrow keys (and function keys etc.) in a shell script so that I could run a text graphics-style data entry system (with text entry fields, drop-down list boxes, progress bars and the like). Yes you can do all this in shell, and portably too if you're careful.

Click on the Add button
Type in the name of your new rule
In the Matching Tab check the box for window_class and application_name.

Click the Actions Tab.
Check the set_workspace box and set the workspace to 3.

Click Stop then Start on the gDevilspie main window for good measure.
Here is your output in the raw tab:

)
( begin
( set_workspace 3 )
( maximize_horizontally )
( println "match" )
