[Bug 1305778] [NEW] Misinterpretation of key sequence

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 13.10
Vim:   Installed: 2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2

Entering the commands to leave insert mode & insert a new line above the
current one, beginning with certain letters, results in punctuation on
the current line instead.

To reproduce:
Start vim, *quickly* type the keys: i<Esc>Om

Expected result:
New line created above the current one with the letter 'm' in it

Actual result:
Hyphen inserted on current line

Also affects:
Letters j,k,n,o
j gives *, k gives +, m gives -, n gives ., o gives /

Vim version: 7.4 (as installed by Ubuntu 13.10)
Happens on my machine, my co-worker's machine, several VMs and to some (not all) of the people I asked about it on IRC. Definitely requires that the typing is done quickly. Causes me problems very frequently because I write a lot of Perl and when I go to declare a variable, I get "-y $foo" on the current line instead of "my $foo" on the previous line.
