Since the problem you described is with the terminal emulator that you
described the place to fix it would seem to be in the terminal
emulator. It would seem that gnome-terminal is the deficient code in
the path between your keyboard and emacs.
For what it is worth I live inside emacs inside an xterm and M-SPC is
propagated correctly by xterm. I do have "Meta Sends Escape"
(XTerm*metaSendsEscape:true) configured in my Xresources for xterm.
Perhaps using xterm would be a solution for you?
