I had to revisit this issue and found the bugtracker mention above.
It turns out that using Ctrl-Alt as a compose key combination instead
of AltGr I get the correct characters also in a RealVNC connection to
the RPi where Lazarus is running. 
Tested these: [ ] { } | $ € \ ~ @ £

The Lazarus code editor switches me to the tab next left when I use
AltGr so all I enter afterwards gets into the wrong file...

I just have to remember NOT to use AltGr in the Lazarus code editor
when working through VNC in the future....
