Just a wild guess:
CDE uses an older X11 Release where ISO_Level3_Shift was still called
Mode_switch. I guess CDE changes the modmap and sets AltGr to a symbol
which is not recognized as Level3-Shift by the xserver.
You can start xev for debugging. If it is not available with CDE, you
can start a local xterm (from cygwin) after loggin into CDE and start
xev from the cygwin xterm.
