  	That really is VT101 and not a typo (unless
they
 	messed up in the manual) so it looks like
 	the VT131 is a modified VT100 series terminal. 
 Indeed, I've been lead to believe that this was the case.
 I've been assuming that is correct for now. 
It is.  The VT131 has additional firmware.

In the meantime, I've found my VT100 manual.  A flashing "4" means keyboard
faulty or nort present.  For completeness, "2" means a memory fault, and
"8" means a data error.  "6" is the logical OR of "2" and
"4", etc.  If
only the keyboard test fails, the terminal should go online in receive-only
mode (ie it's useful as a display).
