I don't think there's a native way to do it, but you can post-process
the register into which you recorded it to remove the last item (the
<esc>), something like this (untested)

[record macro into "a", go into insert mode, do stuff, press <esc>
and press "q" to stop recording]
:let @a=@a[:-2]

which should snip off the terminal <esc> from the macro stored in @a

-tim
