Well, I've answered my own question, and it seems to have nothing to do with 
the synchronizing of the .vim folders on the macbook and the tablet. 

After restoring the .vim folder and the .vimrc from six weeks ago, I decided to 
see which one had given me back my keymappings. It was the .vimrc. So I decided 
to see if I could see what it was about the .vimrc that had done the trick. I 
compared the older .vimrc with the one previously in use. 

There was a *one character* difference. Somehow the initial 'i' got lopped off 
the insert mode remapping of jj to <esc>. I did it, of course. I have no idea 
how or when, but it had to be me. 

I don't know what I look like, but I'm feeling a little sheepish after all the 
"sturm and drang" of the last few days.
