Hmm... I don't see this here:

   % emacs -Q
   M-x viper-mode
   5 n
   i test ESC

Please, note that the patch includes a change to lisp/faces.el which is
a preloaded file, so you either need to regenerate (aka "redump")
src/emacs after byte-compiling the new lisp/faces.el or to manually call
M-x load-libbrary RET faces RET after starting `emacs'.
