I think the problem originally was, that sudo preserved your $HOME
environment variable, which may or may not be what you want but this
lead to the .viminfo file being owned by root. (sudo -i should prevent
that, by the way).

There are several bug reports about it, here are 2 that I randomly
googled:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/58002
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/93449

BTW, instead of sudo -e I usually use sudoedit.

Christian
