   I don't use EISNER, and I barely use Vim, so  I know nothing, but...

   Mine says:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Oct 11 2017 22:35:59)

   I'd say, yes.  I've never noticed such behavior around here, but I
don't use it much.

   I'd expect it to be easier to trace a problem if the tracer knew how
to replicate it.  In general, I'd expect the same command in the same
environment to work the same.

   Wrong forum.  Too many social isolates with no one else to talk to
about anything.
