I got a reply by email explaining what the problem was. It turns out that
xev was not giving a complete picture of what was happening. For the
record, here is the solution that was sent to me:
I had the same problem after installation of xorg-x11 6.7. In my
case it was due to mapping Meta keys as Mod4 in
/<path_to_X11>/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/altwin:
partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "meta_win" {
key <LALT> { [ Alt_L, Alt_L ] };
key <RALT> { [ Alt_R, Alt_R ] };
key <LWIN> { [ Meta_L ] };
key <RWIN> { [ Meta_R ] };
modifier_map Mod1 { Alt_L, Alt_R };
modifier_map Mod4 { <META>, Meta_L, Meta_R };
};
If you don't need the Meta keys to act as Mod4, commenting out the
"modifier_map Mod4" line should help.
