Perhaps you have a resource setting confusing things.  I see the proper
symbol (a lowercase "o" with a slash through it).  The eightBitInput and
metaSendsEscape resources related to "meta-X" (sending an escape character
before the code).

However, the reference to 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 sounds more as if you're running
into problems with modifiers (a library issue).

no (I read that report, and it looks different).
