Fixed in git, as a "side effect" of 1cc030f7.  The original patch was by Urja Rannikko.

To reproduce, put this line in your ~/.nanorc:

  bind F-6 findnext main

Then run 'nano somefile' and press <Down>.  It tries to find the next occurrence of the last string that was searched for, instead of moving the cursor one line down.

Expected behavior: nano should complain at startup that "F-x" is not a valid key name, and then ignore it.

Bug was found by Urja Rannikko and reported as an aside in:
