Sorry, I misread this. I was thinking that you said putting e.g. M-{
first and M-[ second wasn't logical, for some reason. As for why M-{ is
first, it's because of the delay associated with M-[. I've reversed
them per your actual suggestion, in any case, since the keys are right
next to each other.

Oh good.

I'd prefer to keep them the way they are, for the above reason. In the
meantime, you can always use the shift key to get Meta-{...
By the way, about what you were saying about M-_: M-- works in
rxvt-unicode as well as the console, but nowhere else I've tested. I've
also checked the control key input mode, and it isn't there either. On
the other hand, I didn't know that ^/ was equivalent to ^_, so it's now
handled in the control key input mode. Displaying it differently in the
help text (as you suggested before) and everywhere else would be another
ugly hack, though.
