Hm, for me it works with vim 7.0, but I have older vim-latex version.
It should be related to filetype selection in vim. Unfortunately I do
not know enough to help you here.

It is actualy a problem of vim, not vim-latex. For vim alt-c and =E3 is
the same. When you press alt-c you get =E3, and when you press  =E3 vim
generates alt-c. Since vim-latex uses mapping alt-c, you have the
problem. I searched a bit, but found nothing how to turn of this
behaviour. You can solve this problem in following ways:

1. Turn off vim-latex mapping alt-c. You have to have line
TexLet g:Tex_AdvancedMath=3D0

in your texrc file. There is  an explanation there, what else you will
lose by setting this option

2. Enter  =E3, like diacritic, by pressing ctrl-k, then a, then ?.

3. Manually change alt-c mapping (actualy m-c) in brackets.vim to some
other mapping you like.

4. Find how to turn off this unwanted vim behaviour, and share it with me:)
