I think you can undefine M-v in the cua keymap where it is defined, like this:

(define-key cua--cua-keys-keymap [(meta ?v)] nil)


Tip: In nXhtml there is a modified version of the normal "C-h c" help
that shows the key binding + the key map where it is bound. This
latter is a guess, but most of the time it is correct. I bind this
command to "f1 c":

  <f1> c runs the command describe-key-and-map-briefly, which is an
  interactive compiled Lisp function in `ourcomments-util.el'.
