ahhhh ok, following your advice i can reproduce the behaviour in Snapshot 49
with just this in the init file:
if has("gui_running")
set macmeta
endif
nmap <space> <C-f>
nmap <M-f> el
...and if you comment out the <space> mapping, the <M-f> seems to work
normally again! Doing the remap of <M-f> again inside Vim also fixes the
problem
