David,

I don't think it's an SSH issue: I'm having the problem on the system
console keyboard here, running RH 7.1 and starting emacs from the
command prompt without X running. The behavior is consistent on a RH
7.3 box, and when I run showkey it correctly displays the
keypress/releases for the shift, control, alt, and Escape keys.

I'm curious if others on the list can verify this behavior in various
versions: please start emacs and see:  does Control-Meta-% brings up
query-replace-regexp on your machine?
