Making a little progress tracking this down. For me it happens when I
start Vim normally, or with -u NONE or with -N. However, if I use
-u NONE -N (both options together), the problem does not occur.

I'll post again if I make more progress. In the meantime, though, does
that set of switches fix it for others experiencing this problem?
