So HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are always set? Then these should be used,
they are checked before USERPROFILE.

When HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are set, then USERPROFILE should not be
used. Are you saying that HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are sometimes not set?
That effectively means your home directory moves around, so it's
expected that Vim doesn't handle that.
Using an absolute path has the opposite effect: If your home directory
is on a dynamically mounted drive, the drive letter can change while
it's still the same directory. Then using "~/" is actually avoiding
problems. Thus we can't use the full path as a default.
I think having to set $HOME is acceptable.
