I've seen this too for a long time (before v8.0), but didn't bother to investigate ...
It's easy to "fix": just don't start the first line with whitespace.

Ok, I did some bisecting (first time ^^):

gvim-v7-4-674.exe (and earlier) works ok
gvim-v7-4-675.exe (and later) shows the bug

Someone should take a look at Patch 7.4.675
