Maybe you've discovered a bug, maybe it happens that your system's  
locale (or windowing system) does or does not translations of 8-bit  
control characters ...

M-<something> is meant to be adequate to ESC-<something>. To find out  
what might be causing it you could try to bind the key combination in  
different ways, for example:

	(define-key map "\e\r"     'whatever)

and also check what you see when you type, for example in *scratch*  
buffer, C-q M-RET.
