I wonder how tied this is to either MBP keyboards (native install or virtual
machine) or the switching of Alt/option and Command/cloverleaf?

I have two MBPs, one which runs Precise in a Fusion VM, and the other which
runs Precise natively.  On the former, I swap those keys in OSX and that gets
exposed automatically to the VM.  On the latter, I use xmodmap to swap the
keys.

I haven't tried recently, but later today, I'll log into the native MBP using
unity 2d and see if or how the behavior differs.  Unity 3d on the native
install does not have this problem.
