The problem is that Xvnc assigns both META and ALT key to the same X
modifier. I don't like this behaviour and agree with XEmacs on this
issue (I always use different keys for ALT and META), that is why I've
changed such behaviour in TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/) where I
assign these keys to different modifiers. So you might want to try
TightVNC which should solve the problem.
Here is the patch in case if somebody wants to solve this problem in
standard VNC:
