Okay, whole story (sorry for the repeated followups to my own messages).
My use of xmodmap thusly:
keycode 0x16 = Escape
keycode 0x24 = grave asciitilde
keycode 0x31 = NoSymbol
to move some keys around (*not* the "L" key, by the way) was the culprit
(I was running this from the "InitFunction" code in my .fvwm2rc).
Removing this chunk got rid of the problem.
The moral: xmodmap may not do what you think.
