Excellent!

That means we can narrow down the problem by looking at your settings.

Can you do this, please:

:redir @"
:set
:redir END
:new
:put

and send the results? That will show us all the settings you have that
are different to defaults and we can possibly find out which is causing
the problem. (Or even better, if you're able to isolate which is causing
the problem, perhaps by moving the set *prg lines lower in your .vimrc
until they start causing problems at startup, that'd save some time for
another developer!)

Yeah, I think this is probably a problem with how the set command works,
not the *prg options in particular. You can have multiple options in a
set command separated by spaces, and for some reason the backslash is
being ineffective to escape it, but only when some other option is set
(strange).
