I would love to see this in mainline as well. I've been using it quite 
extensively for four months now with these maps to move the cursor left/right 
by word/WORD and to the first column, first non-blank, and last column without 
breaking undo:

" Move cursor in insert mode without splitting undo
inoremap <Left>  <C-g>U<Left>
inoremap <Right> <C-g>U<Right>
inoremap <expr> <Home> col('.') == match(getline('.'), '\S') + 1 ?
    \ repeat('<C-g>U<Left>', col('.') - 1) :
    \ (col('.') < match(getline('.'), '\S') ?
    \     repeat('<C-g>U<Right>', match(getline('.'), '\S') + 0) :
    \     repeat('<C-g>U<Left>', col('.') - 1 - match(getline('.'), '\S')))
inoremap <expr> <End> repeat('<C-g>U<Right>', col('$') - col('.'))
imap <C-b> <Home>
imap <C-e> <End>

Here's an update to the patch that applies cleanly to Vim 7.4.803.

Make <M-Left> and <M-Right> move the cursor in insert mode without breaking undo

>From https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_use/klj6nlDOriI/aeNjtWp_U80J
This will allow to use <C-G>U<Left> and <C-G>U<Right> to move the cursor without breaking the undo sequence.
However, a new undo changae will be created if left/right move across lines, so that undo is still workable.

This should fix the problem to undo/redo delimate like plugins (hopefully).
