Vim 7.3 - Odd behaviour with Log file ESC sequences

People,

Vim is displaying the same file differently and behaving differently
when the file is in different directories:

In:

rails_dir/rails_app/log/development.log

Vim processes the ESC sequences as normal to give coloured text but the
command "1G" does not work - but if I copy the file with "cp -a ":

rails_dir/development.log

the ESC sequences show up like:

Connecting to database specified by database.yml
^[[1m^[[36m (0.1ms)^[[0m ^[[1mselect sqlite_version(*)^[[0m

but the command "1G" works as expected. I have renamed .vimrc but the
odd behaviour persists - what I am missing?

Thanks,

Phil.
