permanent insert mode in compiled vim on debian/kubuntu

Hi there,

It is quite embarrassing but I couldn't figure this one out.

Building vim (7.3.1314 or 7.4beta) on Debian 7.1.0 wheezy and Kubuntu 13.04
with necessary (so that it compiles) dependencies and the following
configure options:

--enable-pythoninterp
--enable-multibyte
--with-features=huge
--enable-gui=no
--without-x
--disable-nls
--with-tlib=ncurses

leads to a version where one cannot exit the insert mode. After hitting ESC,
vim reverts to insert mode on its own after ~1 sec and rings a bell. Hitting
ESC and a colon in a quick succession enters the insert mode and inserts a
colon. ".vimrc" settings seem to not matter (could be a false lead though).
It doesn't matter whether it is run from within an x terminal or a console.

Could anybody point me in the right direction?

All help is appreciated!

PS: If more information is needed, please let me know.
