This problem, or something quite like it, has recently been reported and fixed.

The above is Vim 8.1.676. The latest source as of this writing is
8.1.822; IOW there has already been 146 patches since the version you
used. Please try again with a newer Vim.

For a one-line description of every 8.1 patch so far, see
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/8.1/

Best regards,
Tony.
