Do you have any existing mappings that override an accented-E?

My first thought would be to see if you can make the mappings with no
plugins/startup files:

vim -u NONE -N somefile.txt

and then try making alt+? do something:

:nnoremap <m-?> :put="Hello"<cr>

and test it. As previously mentioned, that works for me in an xterm
and in gvim, but not in my rxvt.

If it works for you, then you likely have some plugin/startup file
that is interfering with your ability to map it.
