Dear Vincent,
Thanks for investigating this. Based on your observation, I looked once more more systematically into the problem.
Most of my Debian machines are headless: I normally run FVWM inside a VNC-server (tightvncserver 1.3.9-6.5). For testing I attached a physical terminal to two of the machines and started the same FVWM session inside a real X.org-server: Indeed, in the physical X11-session, the FVWM keybindings always work as expected. Inside the VNC-server they work for FVWM 2.5.30 (from the wheezy package), but not for FVWM 2.6.5 (jessie).
So after all, this bug may have been triggered by a change in VNC rather than in FVWM. Still, downgrading FVWM from 2.6.5 to 2.5.30 is the only viable solution I have found up to now, in an effort to stay as close as possible to a stable jessie setup. I tried changing my VNC-server from tightvncserver to vnc4server, but this changes nothing to the problem. I also tried various VNC clients: xtightvncviewer, KRDC (from Ubuntu 12.04), and UltraVNC (from Windows) - they all exhibit the same keybinding problem in combination with FVWM 2.6.5. Also - as mentioned previously - I have the exact same setup (FVWM 2.6.5 within tightvncserver) working flawlessly on FreeBSD, so I still do not believe this is an upstream issue.
Feel free to re-classify the bug, as it is definitely less important than I first thought - given that most users will run on physical X displays. Still I hope the issue can be fixed somehow fro me - either from the FVWM or from the VNC-server side ...
