I experienced the same problem when we changed from Ultirix 3.1 to 4.1
some time ago.  I have SU-Mac/IP set to use the option key on my
Macintosh extended keyboard (please no look and feel flames) as a Meta
key.  It worked with gnu emacs before the OS change, but not after.
At the time I asked our Sysadmin about it and got no answer.  I can
not help, but can confirm that someone else has seen the same problem.

Me too.
