That's because we had elvis (a vi clone) as vi, which had various
extensions to vi, including arrow-keys-in-insert.

You should be able to `emulate' this behaviour with some macros like:

:map! <^V><up> <^V><ESC>ka
:map! <^V><down> <^V><ESC>ja
:map! <^V><left> <^V><ESC>ha
:map! <^V><right> <^V><ESC>la

where <x> means `key x'.
