That sounds correct. At startup, demacs redefines the keyboard using
ANSI conrol sequences. Usually this is cleaned up after exit. This
is all done in ibmpc.el. Maybe your version is messed up for some
reasons. First you should check that ibmpc is loaded at startup.
In your _emacs you should have:
(setq dos-machine-type 'ibmpc)
and you should have "unqouted" the lines following 
;; IBMPC initialization
;;   function keys, cursor keys, meta key (by ALT)

If this is correct, delete ../term/ibmpc.elc and byte-compile ibmpc.el
again.
If this doesn't help, get a new ibmpc.el and byte-compile it.
If this doesn't help, ask again (not me :-).

So long, Michael
