Not surprizing, if you change random variables.
In a terminal, the input is much more basic. You have only a stream
of 8-bit codes. The terminal can be configured to send ESC c when you
type Meta-C, or to send c|0x80. Unfortunately, if you use another
encoding than ASCII, codes with the high order bit set are used (to
encode non ASCII characters).
So if you want to be able to distinguish an ISO-8859-1 é from M-i,
you'll have to configure the terminal to send ESC i for M-i instead of
'i'|0x80. And of course, configure emacs accordingly.
