1. This can happen because `M-q' is not in fact bound in the current context
(e.g. current buffer).  Are you sure that you are using `C-h k M-q' in the same
buffer where the command is effectively invoked whenever you hit `M-q'?

2. There could be an Emacs bug.  You are apparently using a development version,
not a released version of Emacs.  If #1 above shows that `C-h k M-q' really
should be showing a binding for your command, then consider reporting an Emacs
bug, using `M-x report-emacs-bug'.  The Emacs developers will determine whether
there really is a problem.
