Noting the above behaviour, the following code added to my .profile does
the trick (at the expense of having two ksh's loaded while I remain
online):

stty istrip erase '^h'
if [ $0 = "ksh" -o $0 = "-ksh" -o $0 = "-su" -o $0 = "/usr/bin/ksh" ]
then
        set -o vi
        alias ls="/usr/bin/ls -CFa"
        alias f="/usr/bin/finger"
        alias j="jobs"
        /usr/ucb/stty crt
fi
COUNT=${COUNT:-0}
export COUNT

...

if [ ${COUNT} -eq 0 ]
then
        COUNT=1
        /usr/bin/ksh
        exit
fi
