I don't honestly know the details, I'm an heirloom-vi user and was just on the other side of the conversation from the confused newbie multiple times.
So "apparently under some distro configs in some circumstances it does that" is pretty much all I bothered to find out, because the config data structures people were mostly expressing worked fine with a less touchy format. (and this was only the -default- format configured by the scaffold, if you handed the config system a YAML file it was still happy to load it)
