I can't imagine MATE terminal to implement its own escaping machinery.
They'll probably copy that of the Xterm, to stay compatible (although
these days you never know).

So perhaps the OP gets away with pretending he has an xterm.

@Dedeco: what happens if you say "export TERM=xterm", start a new
shell [1] (i.e. you say "bash") and then start vim?
