There was a modification done to the 2392 firmware, for HPlabs, that
would in fact give a real live Meta key, by the termcap definition.
There must be some terminals floating around hplabs with the
firmware.  There was a Specials group in the data terminals division
that did the hack for labs.

It probably isn't a product, but you might be able to get it out of HP
anyway, since a similar hack for 2622/23's (I think) was installed in
some terminals that were traded to somebody over at SRI for some dues
in some organization.

I used to work at HPlabs, and made the 2622/3 and 2392 hacks happen,
after I had added Meta keys to 264X terminals, to great appreciation.
