I agree, and I don't really insist on my patch making it in, I understand that
you're
reluctant to approve something thats in a hairy area of the code thats very few
people
are touching. Reason I posted it, so that if other people having same problem
as me
can find the patch easily, if someone is configured their Emacs with 8-bit-meta
they
likely to have no problems applying the patch and compiling their own.

With default neither nil nor t (ie anything else), it sets kepyboard->meta_key
to 2, which means 8-bit clean,
and than neither before my patch nor after my patch 8th bit is never looked at
or stripped.
META parameter to keyboard->meta_key mapping in C is:
NIL => 0
T => 1
other => 2
This can be trivially seen by grepping kepyboard.c for meta_key, all the if
statements referencing meta_key
are either if (meta_key==1), and than if (meta_key != 2) for stripping the 8th
bit.
Thus with default value of meta_key==2, there is no change to input decoding
either before or after my patch
