With current development code I have no problem to make this work.
I use this binding:

  mouse 1 w m move

As soon as I release the button the move operation starts, regardless
of the state of the meta key. Can you check this with a current snapshot?

I guess you're starting FvwmButtons directly from the config file.
Try putting the line in your InitFuction/RestartFunction.
