Untested: use an abbreviation that defines two autocommands:
:augroup Hack
:au CursorHoldI * execute "normal a\"\<Esc>"
:au CursorHoldI,InsertLeave,CursorMovedI * au! Hack
:agroup END
What I did test is that CursorMovedI is triggered when you insert a
character. Thus both autocommands are cleared after 'updatetime' or the
first typed character (or cursor movement or leaving Insert mode). I am
not sure whether the :normal command will work. Of course, you can also
have the abbreviation change &updatetime and have the autocommands
restore it.
