I have seen the same problem.
I have a sneaking suspicion this might be related to X11R6.x protocol
extension named "XKEYBOARD". It is supposed to allow us to use all
kinds of keyboards without ever using the "xmodmap" command. It even
seems to work, as long as the clients (or their X client libraries?)
support this extension.
However, at least XFree86/XOrg xservers seem to have problems with
AltGr when they have to work with software that won't support XKEYBOARD.
Looks like the XKEYBOARD-aware xservers build only the first two
levels of keyboard mappings (the unshifted and shifted keys) for the
"classic" protocol. I think the AltGR mappings could be added back
with the xmodmap tool, but I haven't had time to actually try it.
If ReflectionX's XKEYBOARD implementation is modeled after XOrg code,
the cause might be similar.
