Under multi-gnome-terminal as vim. (though compiled with KDE support)

I just checked running it under various conditions and it turns out,
that multi-gnome-terminal is not really compatible with xterm here. True
xterm sends Alt as high bit. Sending escape is "rxvt" behaviour (and
console one, too).

However, even if I use a terminal, that should have correct terminfo --
like console or rxvt, :imap <M-i> still maps to e-acute and not to
<esc>i, as would be appropriate for that terminal. I tried default
settings, too (I normaly use encoding=utf8, termendocing=iso-8859-2).

Even if vim was forced to correctly use <Esc> on terminals, that send
alt as esc, it would not solve the problem for xterms and does not solve
it for kvim, which both generate character 0351 (or U+e9 if you prefer)
for Alt-i and that's simply indistiguishable from e-acute (because it is
e-acute (in iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2 and unicode)).

I use special "ucw" keyboard. It behaves just like standard cz_qwerty
for applications, though. It resolves to iso-8859-2 characters on
XLookupSymbol.
