One of Vim's "selling points" is that it can be made "100% vi-compatible" [1], so I assume any incompatibilities with vi are considered bugs. I've never used old vi, so I don't know the accuracy of the claim, but everything listed so far are things that :set compatible "fixes". (Except maybe the display of "cw"--I'm not sure if nvi or vim's display is how vi did it.)
