Okay, turns out that this is not a bug. Someone with the necessary powers might want to close the bug report.

From strategywiki's entry on Nethack/Beginning (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/NetHack/Beginning) :

"Some graphical versions of NetHack let you click on squares to move there. Otherwise, you will need to the learn the keys to move around.

If you had switched on the "number_pad" option, then you get to use the number keys [12346789] to move in eight directions. <B>Most ports do not let you use the arrow keys.</B> For the best controls (and also if your keyboard has no numeric keypad), you should leave "number_pad" off and use the [yuhjklbn] keys to move your @ around. This system consists of four "vi" keys to move in four directions (up, down, left, right), and four "diagonal" keys for diagonal movement."
