Public bug reported:

If you press any key combination with modifiers that is not a registered
hotkey (and neither is a global system hotkey) qutIM adds letters you've
pressed silently ignoring modifiers.

For example, I press Meta+A. If nothing is associated with Meta+A qutIM
will read it as simply "A" and either insert it into chat box or starts
search (in contact list). It should completely ignore it, however.
Because I've never pressed just "A" and didn't intend to type anything.
"Meta+A" is not "A" even if there is no action registered with it.
