Ok, so RFB is not the keyword to track :-(

Confirmed, I replaced TightVNC viewer by TigerVNC, solves the issue. 
I got AltGr working + Ctrl_R acting as AltGr (my Debian kbd definition).
With this client, it is fine.

I saw Qemu must be compile with debug support, ok.
From this, if you have a recommendation, specific config to setup to 
debug the particular keyboard, I can do that.

To me the issue is here since a single keyboard key should produce a 
single keycode. Since my PC does not send 2 keys (else TigerVNC or 
noVNC would behave the same), it is elsewhere...
