I assume that "XTERM" is a typo and that you meant "TERM".

That suggests to me that vim is properly configuring itself to
accept the escape sequences for those keys from both terminal types,
but that your mlterm is emitting different sequences from the ones
that vim expects from an mlterm. Try this. Open a new buffer and
enter insert mode. Then type Ctrl-V followed by Ctrl-Left. Type
Enter, then Ctrl-V followed by Ctrl-Right. What do you see?
