This bug has been fixed for some time in tip.

It's Plan 9 related. Most apps ignore modifier keys if they're
not accompanied by another key. Plan 9 treats an unaccompanied
alt as the begining of a keyboard(6) sequence. There's no way
around it (aside from some rather eggregious kludges) except to
change your modkey.
