I can confirm this, IE seems to mistakenly treat presses like Alt+L as Ctrl+Alt+L. There is a workaround, in case someone finds it useful:

In file /moodle/lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php, the line 2205 number (as of Moodle 1.8.4+ on 2008-02-23) says currently

} else if (ev.ctrlKey && ev.altKey) { A "brutal" workaround for this bug is to change this line to } else if (ev.ctrlKey && ev.altKey && (!HTMLArea.is_ie)) {

This disables Ctrl+Alt+* shortcuts under IE, but at least Polish characters work Ok. Non-IE browsers are not affected.

Moodle 1.9.5 (htmlArea v3.0), IE8,IE9 - bug is still haunting. Maybe this is not the strict answer to question about this bug in moodle2.1 but I was struggling with it today. I used Michalis' workaround (thanks) to solve the problem.
