The problem is running Vim in a terminal emulator.  Which terminals
correctly handle <C-Right>/<C-Left> correctly isn't something the script
should be littered with, IMO.  On the other hand, gvim will recognize it
fine so I'll suggest upstream to change the check to include
has('gui_running').

This is indeed a problem.  Thanks for the info.  I'll forward it
upstream and see what he says.
