The output is:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options
['lv3:ralt_alt', 'grp:alts_toggle', 'altwin:menu', 'compose:ralt']
$
not sure what 'ralt_alt' means as opposed to 'ralt', but this is at
least consistent with the fact that the key is stuck as AltGr instead of
Compose.
If I select 'Right Alt' for 'Alternate Characters Key', the gsettings
value changes to 'lv3:ralt_switch'. If I select any other option, it
shows 'ralt_alt', and the UI shows 'Alternate Characters Key': 'None'.

Title:
gnome-control-center compose key setting does not set compose key
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I noticed after upgrade from impish to jammy that my compose key is
not working correctly.
Going into gnome-control-center -> Keyboard, I see that 'Alternate
Characters Key' and 'Compose Key' are both set to Right Alt.
Setting Alternate Characters Key to None, and moving the Compose Key
setting around between different options (and then back to Right Alt),
the behavior of the Right Alt key is still AltGr and not Compose.
