Here's one problem evidently caused by the new code: invoke "emacs -Q"
and type "M-x" after it starts => you will see "x" being inserted into
*scratch*.  This doesn't happen if w32-use-fallback-wm-chars-method is
non-nil.

This is a one-time problem: all the subsequent "M-x" are handled
correctly.  It sounds like some initialization somewhere is missing?

Could you please look into that ASAP?  TIA.
