So there are two things why this happened:

a) Currently, in unity8 Alt and Alt+Gr are the same. There is a change
in Mir coming up which allows unity8 to fix that. That's still to be
done.

b) Unity8 has some workaround for delaying the alt presses in case
they'd be consumed by the shell (Alt+Tab). The linked branch changes
that behavior to actually forward Alt but then cancels it again for the
app in case unity8 consumes it. That happens to fix this bug, still a)
needs to be fixed too.

** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
