In my case (Vim 7.3.154, Huge version with GTK2 GUI, Slackware 13.37),
both windows display the original (long name).

A simple `:cd .` refreshes them both to use the short name, but not in a
script that is sourced or run with `vim -e` (not even with :redraw).

Is there way to check in advance that this would happen, so I can wipe
the damn buffer (and load if later) ?

About using expand('%'), Vimball documentation says the files should
always be relative (unless I intend to distribute some file like
/etc/opt/plugin-config) that is meant to be absolute).

Thank you,
