Confirmed. The correct platform-independent name would probably be Meta (which is the name that was used before if I recall correctly); since these names are actually translated by Minecraft it would be pretty easy to fix (just change the key.left.win=Left Win and key.right.win=Right Win translation strings to use the right names, maybe also changing the translation keys).

Yes, checking the OS would be certainly easy for Minecraft, so this bug could be fixed so easily.
