OK, I've compared the configs, and there is no discernable difference between the working and non-working versions. FYI, here are the configs I've compared:
/etc/vim/vimrc - no difference /usr/share/vim/vim70/debian.vim - One new comment line in the feisty version I've also tried installing a different terminal (aterm), and the problem is similar in this terminal, but with the letters "c" and "d" being inserted in to the buffer instead of "1;2D" and "1;5D".
