That is an issue with your terminal emulator.
What do you see if you, in an emacs -nw session, press: C-q M-x
Xterm's default settings can be a problem for M- keystrokes.
Some other terminals may also have issues.
Also, do M- keys work correctly at the bash prompt? (Or whichever shell
you use)
A quick test shows that my urxvt translates M-x into C-[ x (aka ESC x),
which allows emacs to handle it.
