I think if you check again whats going on
you will find that the curses based application (Vim) is the
cause of the problem with ^[OC changing to ^[[C.
I don't see how fvwm would be involved.
I am not saying Vim is at fault.
When I have seen this in the past, the TERMINFO had an initialization
sequence that changed what keys emit, and the reset (un-initialization)
sequence didn't undo the change.
I don't follow the part about the mouse, if you are talking about
mouse clicks in the xterm window that Vim reads, it is probably
the same terminfo problem.
