One solution is to set the value of TERM to one that vim recognizes

your terminal.  I think the ones vim recognizes are:

   xterm
   nxterm
   kterm
   mlterm
   rxvt

I'm using mlterm, but XTERM is set to 'xterm'. When I set it to 'mlterm', I get 
the same behaviour. It works when I run vim from xterm, though, both when TERM 
is 'xterm' and 'mlterm'.

Another solution would be to map the sequences your terminal emits
to the <C-Left> and <C-Right> key codes, e.g.,

   :cmap <Esc>[1;5D <C-Left>
   :cmap <Esc>[1;5C <C-Right>

I tried it but it didn't work - same behaviour :(

Also, I suppose there would be no way to make that work with standard
readline? :help readline just brings up stuff about the readline.vim syntax
file.

Do you mean have Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right work at the shell prompt
or do you mean have vim use readline?  If you mean the latter, then
no.  For the former, see

The former. Oh well :)
