I checked which vi I'm using - it's /usr/bin/vi, which links to
/etc/alternatives/vi, which links to /usr/bin/vim.tiny.

Then, to make sure, I created an empty file (touch empty) and used the
full path of to run vi on that file, with and without -u NONE.

/usr/bin/vi empty - the sequence ?>4;m appears when typing a to get into insert 
mode, and ?>4;2m appears when pressing ESC to leave insert mode.
/usr/bin/vim.tiny empty - the problem does NOT appear
/usr/bin/vi -u NONE empty - the problem does appear
/usr/bin/vim.tiny -u NONE empty - the problem does appear
