I have what sounds like the same problem. I am using keyboard layout USA, with option for Adding Esperanto circumflexes to the qwerty keyboard, and key to choose 3rd level: Left Win and Right Alt.

This problem did not occur in Jaunty (9.04), but does occur in Karmic (9.10).
This problem occurs in Gnome and in KDE.
I can confirm that the third level keys work with the terminal, and add that they still work with OpenOffice.org, Kate, Konqueror, and Lokalize,
but they do not work in gedit, Firefox or Thunderbird, Bluefish, gFTP, Gnucash, or Search for Files. When I press a 3rd level key combination no glyph appears on the screen and the cursor does not advance.
