It means that vim failed to recognize a sequence of bytes (likely "\eOA") that
terminal sends when you press <Up> as an <Up> key. If `$TERM' variable has right
value then I don't know the proper fix for this, but you can use a workaround:
Add the following lines to the vimrc:

" Replace the following condition with something that will identify terminal
" where you are experiencing your problem
if $TERM is "xterm"
" Replace "\eOA" and ... with right codes. You can get them by typing
" <C-v><Up>, <C-v><Down>, ... `\e' is an representation of escape
" character which will be shown as (blue by default) `^[' when you type
" <C-v><Up>.
for [s:key, s:value] in [["Up", "\eOA"],
\["Down", ...],
\...
\]
execute "set <".s:key.">=".s:value
endfor
endif
