Yes, but it's not permanent. I intend to give most Emacs modes
vi bindings, but the more complex modes require some adaption.
In the meantime, Emacs state is used in a number of cases
to keep things minimally functional.

The state a mode comes up in can be changed with
`evil-set-initial-state', e.g.,

    (evil-set-initial-state 'Custom-mode 'normal)

To view the default settings, inspect the following variables
(with "C-h v"): `evil-emacs-state-modes', `evil-insert-state-modes'
and `evil-motion-state-modes'. Modes not listed here come up
in Normal state.

Fixed in commit 6e74963.
