Hi Lisandro,

Sorry for the late reply now. Unfortunately, the issue is still
present for me, even with Qt 5.6.1 instead of 5.5.1 and a recent
tightvncserver (1.3.9-8).

As you suggested, I now tried a different VNC viewer. Switching
from xtightvncviewer (1.3.9-6.5) to krdc (4:4.14.1-1) does not
help, the same weird key swapping happens within krdc. 

While Qt5 applications think the "u-key" is an "m" for instance,
it looks correct in xev, here within xtightvncviewer:

~~~~~
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2631956143, (573,420), root:(574,421),
    state 0x0, keycode 58 (keysym 0x75, u), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (75) "u"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (75) "u"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2631956782, (573,420), root:(574,421),
    state 0x0, keycode 58 (keysym 0x75, u), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (75) "u"
    XFilterEvent returns: False
