This brought me to the core of the problem, I had:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x8c00001,
root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2007904307, (-153,85), root:(630,134),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe7, Meta_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
i.e. Meta_L instead of Alt_L
The offending line in .Xmodmap was
keycode 64 = Meta_L
Outcommenting this solved the problem.
Thanks Herbert and Pit for the help!
