According to Adam David:

Which Netscape ? Linux or BSDi ?
The 3.0/BSDI is showing the same symptoms. Maybe a bad interaction between
the libraries used by Netscape and X11R6 ?

Do you have a special entry in your .xmodmap (do you use one ?) for '@' ?
'@' is bound to AltGr+0 on my french keyboard and is defined like this:
keycode 19 = agrave 0 at
The Alt+2 key is the following:
keycode 11 = eacute 2 asciitilde
I also have the following to deal with AltGr differently than Alt.
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
add mod4 = Multi_key
And finally, I have this in XF86Config:
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
XkbDisable
AutoRepeat 300 10
ServerNumLock
# To set the LeftAlt to Meta, RightAlt key to ModeShift,
# RightCtl key to Compose, and ScrollLock key to ModeLock:
LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt ModeShift
ScrollLock ModeLock
EndSection
