Perhaps you have a mapping for <Esc> or one that begins with <Esc>? Seeing as some (or many) terminals actually send the cursor keys as "<Esc><a>", "<Esc><b>", "<Esc><c>", "<Esc><d>", VIM sees the cursor key presses as two separate keystrokes, and is probably performing the wrong mapping. At least in my limited experimentation I've found that you have remove any mapping for <Esc>, or at least make sure that it only gets set up when running the GUI. I've played around with the 'timeout', 'ttimeout', 'timeout' and 'ttimeoutlen' settings but to no avail; it seems you just have to stay away from <Esc> in your mappings.
