When you say the lower octave fork F# is "out of tune", is it flat or sharp relative to the same note an octave higher? How about the regularly fingered F#---is the pitch of this fingering the same in both octaves? Does the note in either octave sound "stuffy" when compared to the F natural a half step away?
This is an interesting question, but more information would be helpful to look at a possible solution. I'm sure you realize that this particular fingering for F# is used mostly in trills and in rapid chromatic passages in which any pitch discrepancy would largely go unnoticed.
