I took a while to play around. One thing you may need to do is set the TERM environment variable to a proper, more capable, terminal (such as "cygwin").

Beyond that, I found that I needed to:

set convert-meta on

in my .inputrc and also to write the escape sequences as
(for example):

"\M-b": "echo meta b"

Note: *one* backslash, not two!
