Private mail didn't work, and I deleted the original message before the
reply bounced, so I'm posting this.   Apologies to uninterested parties.

Try this:

        xmodmap -e 'keycode 0xb1 = Alt_L Meta_L'

        When first shipped,  the DEC server only sends the 'Alt_L' code for
        the `compose character' key.  This line also makes the server send
        `Meta_L' which is what emacs wants to see.

This is a suggestion from a dude at DEC.   I'm not having the meta problem
anymore because I have native X support, but you might have some success
with this method.   Good luck!
