When you start Vim normally, the system-wide vimrc is sourced, which sources $VIMRUNTIME/debian.vim, which calls "set nocompatible". When the 'nocompatible' option is set, that tells Vim to set the 'wildchar' option to "<Tab>" instead of the default of "<C-e>". If you want the same behavior when you use the -u flag then use the -N flag as well (to start vim in 'nocompatible' mode).
