Duh... yes, I see I'm really dense these days.  Indeed, once
input-decode-map is setup properly, there's no conflict since facemenu
uses the "ESC o" prefix whereas the cursor movement uses "ESC O".
But in the absence of the input-decode-map, "ESC O" ends up unbound, so
Emacs tries to downcase the key to find a binding (which it does find).
