That's precisely the problem, it is the three:

shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Meta_L (0x73), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

If I remove Super_L and Hyper_L from it, Meta works again in TeXmacs.

shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Meta_L (0x73), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

Now it works.

That's precisely what I meant M-' does the same as A-'. OK, moving to
another key combination to do my testing :)
