This was fixed in snapshot 48 -- the DefaultKeyBinding.dict is now ignored completely. Note: I am not in the habit of reading the vim_use group (only in digest mode) so please use the vim_mac list if you have any issues with MacVim. I'd also like to point out that the Mac GUI that comes with the official Vim sources are completely outdated (Tony F: I am guessing that you are using this version). Please go to http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ to get an up-to-date and actively maintained GUI version for the Mac.
