Rather odd - alt-gr should be mapped to the right shift on a US keyboard
I believe, so holding down alt-gr and hitting 4 should be a reliable
event.

Is the problem vim specific and what is your locale set as ?

May be a vim problem. With a UK keyboard btw compose is shift-altgr so

shift-altgr (remove fingers) e =  produces €

(and there are lots of other useful ones for accented symbols for © etc..)
