          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This means M-ç gets processed by some code in w32fns.c that doesn't
have a DebPrint.  Can you find out which one (by sticking DebPrint)?
For example, these two fragments look as possible suspects:

1)
	default:
	  /* If not defined as a function key, change it to a WM_CHAR message. */
	  if (wParam > 255 || !lispy_function_keys[wParam])
	    {
	      DWORD modifiers = construct_console_modifiers ();

            ...
	      else
		{
		  /* Let TranslateMessage handle everything else.  */
		  windows_translate = 1;
		}
	    }


2)
    translate:
      if (windows_translate)
	{
	  MSG windows_msg = { hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam, 0, {0,0} };
	  windows_msg.time = GetMessageTime ();
	  TranslateMessage (&windows_msg);
	  goto dflt;
	}

Can you stick a DebPrint into each block and see which one handles
M-ç?
