In the NS port, ns-option-modifier is `meta' by default, so this is  
logical.
I presume you had a customization.

Adrian, should we change this to match the Carbon Emacs default?
Your ns-compatibility-mode (forgot exact name) could change that, of  
course, but without it, we don't have too many Mac like keys bound.   
Traditional Emacs users tend to want a Meta key, while most users of  
non-English keyboard layouts will need Option very regularly to do  
tasks often done in Emacs {like C/Java/... programming}.
