I think that indeed means that Emacs does not support it.
As for whether someone knows how to make it support it... well I don't.
How do other Motif applications behave?
AFAIU, Emacs does not use Motif's toplevel loop so it uses a
timer interrupt to poll for repeat-events instead, which might lead
to some problems, but then again maybe it's just the normal Motif
behavior and maybe you can change it via Xresources.
