It does work in fundamental mode, but it still breaks meta (M-x is undefined after redefining ESC) The original question was about redefining ESC. How to do that without making Meta undefined is a separate issue. (ESC by default is the prefix key of the Meta keymap, so it's a small wonder that redefining ESC breaks Meta. You will have the same effect if you redefine C-x: all the C-x sequences will stop working.)
