This sounds suspiciously like two versions/builds of vim are on
your system, one being found by the login-shell and one being
found by the sub-shell. In each shell, what is the output of

ksh> which vim
ksh> alias

Perhaps your login shell sets an alias that isn't set in the
sub-shell?

Finally, it would be useful to capture the output of ":version"
both in the case where it *does* work and the case where it
*doesn't* work. The comparison would prove useful.
