There were some recent tweaks to ensure consistent handling of AltGr and 
right-Alt and I was not aware of that section in the wiki (it was there 
before my time...).
However, I do not reproduce your particular issue:

Works for me when switching to US keyboard layout. Which layout do you use?

That is the proper way now enforced if the right Alt key is in fact 
AltGr. If it's not, right-Alt+' etc should work alike, as it does here.
