Ah. *I* had a ~/.Xmodmap which I forgot about:
! This one switches both alt keys to be alt:
keycode 66 = Alt_L
keycode 69 = Alt_R
clear mod1
add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R

That was why you were seeing 0x2000 for alt instead of 0x8

If you look closely, you'll also notice the lack of Mode_switch being  
released, yet the state doesn't reflect it as down.  It looks like in  
X11 Mode_switch is just never sent with mouse-clicks for some reason,  
so that's why you weren't seeing it.  I wonder why that is...

Well now with 1.4.2-apple9, you should be getting "å"
