Yes, see below.

It is to prevent errors when Mod4 is _not_ the super key. Very common
on X (where Mod4 is commonly Hyper), and in fact it is caused by Mod4
not being part of the Super virtual modifier in the compositor's XKB
configuration.
The conclusion I eventually came to is that the problem lies in the XKB
configuration of the Wayland compositor in question (namely, Sway), and
not Emacs nor GDK. It works with GNOME Shell and kwin because they set
up their keyboards with the correct virtual modifiers by default. So
what I'd recommend is to start an X server where the Super key does
work, run:
xkbcomp $DISPLAY name/of/xkb/file.xkb
and then use that file with Sway.
