That's because you are working in "meta sends ESC" mode.
Although this is OK for most applications, for some it isn't.
Thus there have always been two modes, "meta sends ESC"
and "meta sets 8th bit". (toggled with setmetamode on the
console)

Vim relies on "meta sets 8th bit". Unfortunatelly the code
for this options does not work in UTF-8 in the console. What
I'd like to do is make this a viable option in UTF-8.
