Narrative:

Flight from den was originally cleared EEONS4 SID. On taxi out to runway 8 in denver; ground told us to contact clearance delivery for a re-route. Clearance asked us if we had the coded departure routes (clearance delivery-right) onboard; and we replied in the affirmative. We were cleared the DENZZZ1 clearance delivery-right which reads kden YOKES4 dehli onl…we pulled into the ee run up pad near runway 8 and the first officer entered the route while I sent a message to dispatch with the new routing. The first officer and I reviewed the altitudes on the new departure and ran the before takeoff checklist. Our takeoff clearance was 'turn left heading 025 degrees; cleared for takeoff runway 8.' after switching to departure frequency; passing about 8;500 feet we were cleared direct to yokes; climb and maintain 16;000. Before we were level at 16;000 we were cleared to FL230. The flight management computer showed yokes dehli onl. After yokes on denver center frequency we were given a 025 degree vector. A while later center told me to call them when on the ground. Neither the first officer; both jumpseaters; nor could I figure out what we had done wrong.when I called denver center; I was informed that the correct departure routing is from yokes to chici and thence to dehli; and that several other aircraft/aircrews had experienced the same misunderstanding. Apparently; flying direct from yokes to dehli impinges on the arrival corridor. When I zoomed in on my ipad to verify the crossing altitudes; I didn't notice the enroute transitions box in the upper left hand corner of the chart; and the FMC did not load chici between yokes and dehli. The controller told me over the phone that 'it may be a problem in some aircraft's FMS.' between the late clearance; the ambiguity of the clearance delivery-right; and the incorrect FMC routing; there were several threats present. Denver seems to be one of the only airports I can remember operating into that has several different areas on the chart for routings.

Title: Air carrier flight crew received a revised routing from ATC before takeoff. They inserted the coded revised routing into the FMS and cross checked their entries. After takeoff; they received a vector to on course. After crossing the first fix they received another vector and a phone number to contact ATC. The FMS coded reroute omitted a fix that ATC was expecting them to fly to. ATC remarked that it may be a problem with some aircraft's FMS.
