From
   https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23251
it is not clear what “Generate-Meta” settings are used in this bug,
given that there is no Meta key on the Windows.

    • Is it with no init/site files?
    • What happens if this key is pressed with Alt⸣s?
    • What happens if this key is pressed with left Alt?
    • What happens if this key is pressed with AltGr?
    • What happens if this key is pressed with Alt and AltGr?

Myself, I won’t be able to test this for a few days, since the only
laptop-or-hardware-keyboard about me with ISO key present is not
accessible right now.

Yours,
Ilya
