If I'm understanding you, you have renamed ~/.vim and you have
created a ~/.vimrc containing only that command above,

That is correct.
 

then when you
start vim as just

   vim

you have spell-checking enabled,

Well I don't know if it is enabled on this point, what i meant was that if i launch vim with a file as an argument, as in "vim filename.txt", the spell check visually works for this file
 

but when you open a file using

   :e filename

spell-checking is no longer enabled.

Yes. But if i open a second file with :e again, it does work.
 

OK then.  When you first start vim, execute

   :verbose set spell?

You should see

 spell
       Last set from ~/.vimrc

Then open a file using ":e" and again execute

   :verbose set spell?

What do you see?

I've made this test as you said and also for a second file opened with :e, because as I said above, the spell checking works on this one. On the three situations the same message is returned:
  spell
        Last set from ~/.vimrc (but this text on my local language, pt-br)

Thanks for your attention Gary.
