You definitely have one of the Latin-N input methods enabled in that buffer (try 'a in a non-Python buffer--does it produce the same result?). Input methods are off by default, so something turned them on. I'd suspect Python mode. In any case, you are barking the wrong tree: the problems you mentioned are not due to changed defaults, they are due to your own customizations or optional features, such as Python mode, that you are using.
