All such meta-combinations fail, not just b.  I couldn't get them to
work at all on joy (7.7A).  Here's what I tried:

   echo "*eightBitInput: true" | xrdb -merge
   /srvd/../srvd.76/usr/athena/bin/xterm &
   add outland
   xkeycaps

And on maze (7.6) I couldn't get them to fail:

   add outland
   xkeycaps &
   attach -m /srvd2 beta-dmusys
   /srvd2/usr/athena/bin/xterm &

On both machines, I couldn't see any difference in xkeycaps.  I tried
the "Restore Default Map" option, which had no effect.
