Nope, convert-meta is used to strip the 8th bit from each 8-bit character
and convert it to the meta key (ESC) followed by the lower 7 bits.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The octal representation vs. the actual character is controlled by
output-meta. See "man bash" for more details.

Ah. There's your problem. For some reason, the "output-meta" setting in
your .inputrc didn't get propagated to your shell.
First, try typing "bind 'set output-meta on'" at the shell prompt, and
observe that it fixes your problem. Then, try to find out why the setting
didn't get propagated -- did you restart the shell after editing your
~/.inputrc? If you did, one of your startup files may be resetting this
-- try running a "bash --login -i -v" from a Windows command prompt, and
search the output for "bind 'set output-meta off'".

Incidentally, as I just realized while reading the above, meta-flag is a
synonym for input-meta, so using both is redundant.
