When you press super_l (after doing `xmodmap -e 'remove ModN =
Super_L'`, and `:escape super_l`), does the cursor change to the box?

Alternately, check (using xev) if pressing Super_L generates a
FocusOut event (working) instead of a KeyPress (not working).

You have found a bug anyway.  Observe this session:

:help
 C-t other
 C-t meta
:escape e
:help
 e other
 e meta         <== this behavior needs to be fixed[0]?
:escape C-e
:help
 C-e other
 e meta


[0]: Obviously I don't make policy; seems to me to be a bug.

Without any checking, here's a rough&ready diff (by hand)
<--------snip-------->
actions.c
@ 1523:7, 1523:8 @
        /* Update the "meta" keybinding */
        action = find_keybinding(prefix_key.sym, 0, map);
+       if (key.state) //There must be one or more modifiers
        if (action != NULL && !strcmp (action->data, "meta"))
        {
          action->key = key->sym;
          action->state = 0;
        }

from cvs, circa 2wk ago.

Actually, I think a more generic form of indirection would be cooler
(i.e. :bind RP_Escape meta; :bind RP_Escape_Modless meta), but I don't
even redefine my escape; I'm too lazy to do the legwork.
