This is primarily a vim question, so I've asked about this issue at 
http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/browse_thread/thread/f0c86cf6ca72cc23.

Changing the last .vimrc line to this appears to do the job:

noremap! <Esc>O[ <C-c>

Let me know whether this causes any other trouble.

Thanks. I've amended the tips wiki accordingly in r1060.

The opinion on the vim_use thread appears to be that the Esc mapping behaviour 
functions as designed, but no-one's been able to explain why it's designed that 
way.
