This looks like your 'cpo' option may be including the 'C' flag, disabling line continuation.

This is the default if your Vim is running with 'compatible' set. Generally if you have a .vimrc at all, however, 'nocompatible' will be set. Check to make sure ":set cpo?" does not have the letter 'C' in it.
