Something that happened quite a few times while automating with scripts, is that chroot failed, then I got everything installed on the host over original system.
As you mentioned vim, you can try: $ vi from the original host prompt to see if the version is matching the one from LFS. If so, and your host system is still usable, you are lucky to have not borged it in the process. Dominic. "Linux is a cult that captures the best-and-brightest kids." -Jim Gray (Microsoft Research)
