Sure, how many current OS X bugs have already been reported and which
ones are they?  I also want to be sure I'm not simply duplicating
existing reported bugs.

Oh, it might be worth mentioning that in spite of using Emacs for
years, I didn't get around to subscribing to this list and the orgmode
one until yesterday ... so I almost certainly won't have read back
through the archives enough to know how long or short the osx bug list
currently is.  Nor do I know how pressing the release date for version
26 is, if it's even locked in at all.

The build one I haven't properly replicated, the title one might be
related to what I saw with ERC+ZNC since it pertains to the
buffer-name, but it might be unrelated.

The ns-modifier conflicts and all the related aspects of that, if
there isn't a current bug then I can certainly provide all that and I
may as well test my proposed solution while I'm at it.  I do have a
rather hectic couple of days or so, it might get pushed back to the
weekend, but I'll see where I can squeeze it in.  At worst, though, my
bughunting efforts would only be delayed until early next week.

I have compiled the another copy with the src/nsterm.* and
lisp/cus-start.el copied from the working build from the 4th and
though I've got to do a thorough audit, it's looking like much OS X
pain lies pretty much exactly where I said.  The lisp/cus-start.el
file had the clues, but the majority of the butchery is in
src/nsterm.m.

I'll include diffs later, of course, but since this is likely
frustrating others who may not want to wait for my schedule to lighten
to get stuck into it; ad hoc info be here, proper bug report and
recommendations (or outright fixes) to be advised.
