This is a misunderstanding on your side. What i_Ctrl-\_Ctrl-O does (I
assume you mean 'o' and not 'u'?), is it doesn't move the cursor when
entering temporary normal mode like Ctrl-O does (e.g. it steps the
cursor back by one char, like ESC does).

But of course you can still move the cursor using a normal mode command.
And then the cursor will stay there.
