Any way to confirm it's a bug? Should I report it to XFree or
Debian?

I gather these are the left-hand keys?
Mine got:
keycode 115 = Meta_L
keycode 108 = Meta_R
keycode 64 = Alt_L

~ $ xmodmap -verbose .Xmodmap
! .Xmodmap:
! 0: keycode 115 = Meta_L
keycode 0x73 = Meta_L
! 1: keycode 108 = Meta_R
keycode 0x6c = Meta_R
! 2: keycode 64 = Alt_L
keycode 0x40 = Alt_L
!
! executing work queue
!
keycode 0x73 = Meta_L
keycode 0x6c = Meta_R
keycode 0x40 = Alt_L
~ $
But no change whatsoever... I tried also inverting Meta and
Alt again, it simply doesn't change a thing. So it seems :1 solemnly
ignores both XFree86 altwin:meta_win *and* xmodmap... eerie!

US. I use it with the us_intl variant, that is, producing the
accented characters.

Exact.
Not only GNU Emacs continues to see Alt/Option as Meta in the
console, I loose the accented characters I can get with 1. Standard
followed by the US International (ISO-8859-15) keymap, us-intl.iso15.
