I solved the problem by littering my .emacs with things like this:

(setq bibtex-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
	(vip-change-mode-to-vi)))

(setq c-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
	(vip-change-mode-to-vi)))

(setq cl-shell-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
	(vip-change-mode-to-emacs)))

(setq emacs-lisp-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
	(vip-change-mode-to-vi)))

Whenever you find emacs dumping you into -Emacs: mode for a particular
mode, look at the source code or documentation for that mode, find the
appropriate hook, and set it up so that it changes to the appropriate vip
state.
