In the carbon emacs with option bound to meta, option-u is both M-u
(upcase-word) and the umlaut prefix character.  If I type opt-u u I
insert the u-umlaut character into the buffer.  If I typed opt-u
opt-u, I upcase the word (this doubling is the price paid for the
convenience of using the familiar mac key gestures).  It's not a
matter of emacs key bindings afaik -- at that level M-u is
upcase-word, as usual. I'm pretty sure the handling of prefix
characters like option-u is handled earlier than that.
