I am seeing the same behavior you are seeing, specifically in applications
which have a menu which may be selected using "Alt".

When connected to an RDP server that uses the US English layout and typing
"@" using AltGr+2 with a Norwegian layout locally, I can confirm that the
following key events are sent and that the events are correct:

1) Right Alt down
2) Right Alt up (automatically released by Guacamole due to the need to
type "@")
3) Shift down
4) "@" down
5) "@" up
6) Shift up

I think the issue in this case is that pressing and releasing "Alt" will
select the menu bar within the remote desktop session (if the application
has a menu bar), causing the menu to eat the key events that follow. The
ultimate solution would be to ensure the client side of Guacamole is able
to accurately differentiate between Right Alt and AltGr, such that the
AltGr keypress is properly ignored if the remote keyboard lacks AltGr. A
workaround for the time being would be to select a server layout that does
have AltGr, ensuring that pressing/releasing that key will not select the
menu.
