I get the same result - going on that path.  But looking at the output
from ":map!" for the working case (where I define the map in .vilerc)
versus the non-working (where I did it interactively, as you indicate),
I see a difference: for the latter, vile is showing the literal character
rather than the "^Vu0219" string.

If instead, I type ^V twice interactively, I do enter the same mapping.
The mapping using the doubled ^V works...

(Whether this is what it _should_ do, I'll have to investigate, but
now I know where to look ;-).
