You wouldn't happen to be launching Vim with a -y option, or from an
executable/command line named evim or eview? Check for an alias as
well if you launch from the command line. Also setting 'insertmode'
anywhere in your config files could cause this, or using
the :startinsert command, but you say it's only the one "set
nocompatible" line.
You can try
:verbose set insertmode?
once Vim is started (use CTRL-O or CTRL-L to get out of insert mode if
<Esc> doesn't work), to see if it is set and where it was set.
