Sound suspiciously like a keymapping problem. Make sure you don't have anything doing an xmodmap on the server (look for .Xmodmap). Also look at the output of xmodmap and compare it with a working (or untouched) Xvnc server. (Check both the keymap - xmodmap -pk - and the modifier map - - xmodmap -pm).
FYI, for and old version of Xvnc the modifier map should look like: xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0xa), Shift_R (0xb) lock control Control_L (0x8), Control_R (0x9) mod1 Meta_L (0xc), Meta_R (0xd), Alt_L (0xe), Alt_R (0xf) mod2 mod3 mod4 mod5
and some signficant keys should be ~ 8 0xffe3 (Control_L) ~ 9 0xffe4 (Control_R) ~ 10 0xffe1 (Shift_L) ~ 11 0xffe2 (Shift_R) ~ 12 0xffe7 (Meta_L) ~ 13 0xffe8 (Meta_R) ~ 14 0xffe9 (Alt_L) ~ 15 0xffea (Alt_R)
