Ugh.  Copying the ESC keymap to ESC N is fine only until some key is
rebound.

How about instead binding ESC-N to the following function?

(defun sorta-meta ()
  "Act like a META key"
  (interactive)
  (setq prefix-arg current-prefix-arg
	this-command last-command
	unread-command-char ?\e))

Caution: untested.
