Reading your post helped me a lot!

One thing, ‘though. I’m new Emacs user on the Mac and am looking for help or a place to end a bug report. This cocoa build, when the meta is set to the option key is sending the key modified as the option key. So command + option + r gives M-s-®!!! When I set the command to meta and the option to super (i.e. invert) it gives correctly M-s-r.

If I choose to stay with the default (I mean, if you don’t find it heresy) any idea if it’s fixable or where I should inform this as a bug?

Thanks
